Maastricht

Summary

I'm a young Moldovan guy with a passion for numbers since an early age. In school, this passion turned into a 9-year journey in the field of mathematical competitions, which culminated with two bronze medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad.


After high school I pursued a bachelor's degree in Econometrics and Operations Research in Maastricht, the Netherlands. I learned a lot during my time here but my most valuable experience came from my involvement in the study association - Vectum. I was the Treasurer of this association for a year, and it was a very enriching experience where I had to face many new unexpected challenges but got to learn a lot in the process. I also shared my knowledge to younger students through tutoring and am currently serving as a financial controller for the association, advising and supporting the future treasurers of Vectum.


Currently I am doing a study abroad program at UCLA, with my main goal being to continue my self-improvement journey, learning new things and living great experieneces.
