Host University: State University of Sao Paulo, UNESP
Activity: Research in Entomopathogenic at the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences – Botucatu
Experience:
As an international student in Brazil, I've embraced the practice of asking for help without hesitation. It takes strength to acknowledge our limits, to inquire, and to learn courageously, resulting in personal growth. Love, our deepest longing, becomes a sincere plea, and openness is the key to embracing it and sharing it earnestly. Brazil has taught me that love opens hearts, bringing joy akin to a newborn's curiosity, fulfilling all needs.
Why did you choose to sign up to the Msc Natural Resources Management for Tropical Rural Development in Florence?
I enrolled in this master's program because, after a bachelor's degree in agricultural science, I wanted to deepen my knowledge of tropical agriculture, with a specific focus on the management and the development of projects and activities related to climate change adaptation and rural development.
