Alena Kerosinskaya, a 2019 graduate of UvA’s MSc in Business Administration program, has gained experience across a variety of fields and is currently working in FinTech. I first came across her work on UvA’s website, and her inspiring story motivated me to reach out to her. She kindly agreed to meet, and I had the opportunity to ask about her student experience at UvA, her early career, and topics ranging from the challenges many students face to her own “I made it” moment.
