Meet Elena at today’s Team Thursday!

What is your background?

I’m a graduate in International Relations, and I have recently finished my Master’s in International Development, with a special focus on the politics underlying development, in Manchester. I was born and raised in Madrid but I was lucky enough to study abroad in France and the United Kingdom.

What is your involvement with PROJECT-E?

I have recently joined PROJECT-E, working in the fundraising team in writing applications to donors as well as researching diverse organizations offering funds.

What are you passionate about?

I am aware that, as someone living in the West and as a European citizen, I have always been privileged regarding equality of opportunities and access to education. For this reason, I am passionate about working for other people to enjoy the same privileges and rights I have.

In my free time, I like listening to podcasts and music as well as travelling. Other than that, I do enjoy anything that has to do with using my creativity, particularly painting and writing.
