I grew up in the south of Moldova, a small country bordering Ukraine and Romania, but always had an international outlook. I studied English at University and wanted to use my language skills to start a career in PR and communications.
I was extremely lucky to win a place at Cardiff University for a Master’s degree in International Public Relations and Global Communications and spent two very happy years there. I noticed immediately how charitable Welsh people are, and happy to give to support others in need.
I graduated in 2021 and came back home to Moldova that summer, excited to look for a job. I had no idea that just a few months later, events in Ukraine would turn my life and career upside down.
