Student. Represented Austria at the 2023 Summer School in Valencia

It's been almost two months, but still, it feels like the week never happened. I can still remember the moment I read the email that I had been selected - I was during a team meeting and shortly afterwards the professor didn't see my face again. I firmly believe that if something is meant for you, it will find its way to you. This week was a week that has developed me personally a lot. I realized this week that I'm not alone - there are so many people out there like me. I have met 28 young inspiring women and mentors who are willing to accompany you on your way. I have created memories for life that I hope to tell my children about some day and I have realized that I should continue to dream big because every dream comes true at some point.
