Aleksandra Kobiela

Head of Mentorship Sweden

I am a Master’s Degree student at the University of Gothenburg majoring in Political Communication. My course has taught me skills in crisis communication, international affairs and public relations. I’m an active member of various student unions and a mentor to the first-year students in my course. After graduating I plan to pursue a career as an election campaign expert or a PR advisor. I’m a big hockey fan and a coffee lover, therefore a country like Sweden is great for me to thrive personally and socially. I’m passionate about meeting new people and getting to know their culture, national cuisine and values. I believe that every person can teach me something new about the world I live in. Though I’m staying in Gothenburg, I was able to travel to other Swedish cities such as Stockholm, Malmö and Lund.
