My time at the European Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) was an incredibly transformative period in my academic and personal development. The interdisciplinary nature of the program allowed me to explore the dynamic interplay between politics, economics, and their real-life applications. I gained valuable insights into how European policy is formulated and implemented, which laid a strong foundation for my professional career. This academic experience sparked my deep interest in European policy, a field that has become highly relevant to my current work at Caeli Wind. In my role, I manage partnerships and investors within the energy policy sector, where understanding the nuances of policymaking and its practical implications is essential.

Living in London during my time at LSE also provided me with invaluable international experience. The city’s multicultural environment, combined with LSE’s global student body, helped me develop the cultural sensitivity and communication skills necessary for navigating discussions with international clients and stakeholders. This ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds has become a cornerstone of my day-to-day responsibilities at Caeli Wind, where collaboration across borders is a key aspect of our mission to innovate in the renewable energy sector.

On a personal level, my time at the European Institute was marked by the incredible friendships I formed. Despite the challenges of balancing academic rigor with life in a bustling city, I found a supportive community of peers who shared my passion for European affairs.

Attending the LSE was a long-held dream of mine, and, funnily enough, it was the only university I applied to for graduate studies. It was undoubtedly a gamble, but one that ultimately paid off. The experience exceeded my expectations, equipping me with not only the academic tools I needed for my career but also the confidence to pursue bold opportunities. Looking back, my time at the European Institute remains one of the most rewarding periods of my life, shaping both my professional path and personal growth.
