“There is so much to be learned from the highs and inevitable lows of any study abroad or travel experience. Having experienced this myself, I now feel incredibly fortunate to work in this field and am proud of the work that IFSA does in supporting students as they navigate and reflect on their own experiences so that they are each individually equipped to leverage their learning for personal and professional growth.”

Education

Mina graduated from the University of Manchester with a bachelor’s degree in modern foreign languages (German and Italian). Mina also holds a master’s degree in international human resource management and comparative industrial relations from Manchester Business School.

Travel Experience

Mina’s travel experience began at a very early age as she frequently visited Iran to visit family throughout her childhood, as well as travel to several places in Europe. As part of her undergraduate degree, Mina spent a year studying in Sardinia and Germany. For several years, she lived and worked in Florence, Italy.

Did You Know?

After completing her undergraduate degree, Mina decided to spend one last summer of fun in Italy—but ended up coming back to the UK ten years later!
