What skills and/or strategy helped you to succeed at PSIA?

During all my courses at PSIA, I prioritized my personal learning experience and I preferred subjects and topics that would be in line with my professional interests. Choosing to work on what I liked the most allowed me to be fully engaged in all my projects and add an original perspective to the topic.

What part of your PSIA experience do you think will be of greatest help in your career?

PSIA taught me how to cooperate successfully in a multicultural environment, and to reach common goals together, getting the best out of different personal backgrounds. Also, the numerous presentations we had helped me develop my self confidence and become a more professional speaker.

 

What advice would you give to current and future PSIA students?

Be kind and value your own experience. First, everybody is here to do their best, never forget about this and try to be understanding of others’ personal issues. Second, remind yourself of your personal goals and give yourself the time to reach them. You will find a lot of people and friends ready to help you or advise you, do not hesitate to reach out to them.
