057-EN – Yulia Serbinovich about Chevening Awards and living in Wales

Moldovan Abroad

Yulia is an ambitious person, who is determined to make changes, no matter how small or big they are.

She is an advocate for human rights, she is recognized as an Outstanding Speaker by the UN Refugee Agency and she has been always involved in various local and international projects.

While studying and working in Moldova, she found out about Chevening awards and applied to pursue a MA in Communication, Media Practice and Public Relations at Swansea University in the United Kingdom, where she researched the brand strategies of Apple, Microsoft, and Boston Dynamics.

In this interview, Yulia told us more about the process of applying, her experience in Wales, a comparison to living in Moldova, and her favorite food and traditions in both places.

She was also very open about depression and how she changed her mindset. I love that she has a very insightful way of looking at things. She wants to raise awareness of good things in Moldova. She now works at the National Association of ICT Companies in the Republic of Moldova (ATIC) that stands for the promotion of the ICT sector, which has become bigger and more influential than the wine sector.
