FAVORITE COURSE: I am having right now my favorite course, Weapons, Strategy and War (POL3 379), a 300-level course in our Political Science Department with Professor Stacie Goddard. It is such an interesting class, focusing on the evolution of weaponry and strategical warfare, military science, and the creation of strategy as a science and as an art. For someone like me who wants to go to graduate school in international relations, this class is extremely useful. It is also really interesting, and I am learning a lot. Professor Goddard is absolutely amazing – a fabulous strategist and political scientist.

YOUR PERSPECTIVES ON ACADEMICS: Economics and German Studies, together with my concentrations in Political Science and History, really give me a great introduction into what my career should look like. In Economics, I love learning about different ways to explain the interactions between individuals and states, be it international trade, corporate finance, economic growth, or feminist economics. German Studies is designed to help me learn more about the politics, history, cultural heritage, and societies of the German-speaking lands. Combining my majors is very useful when designing certain foreign economic and strategic policy, something that I can see myself doing in five years.

Wellesley allows you to develop amazing relationship with your professors, letting you learn more about their areas of specialization. They are also amazing advisors and resources, helping you to decide what to do with your academics, your career, and your life. They are excellent listeners and good to talk about the most pertinent and current issues in the world. Many times I went to my professors' office hours and ended up talking about the news, philosophy, interesting books, movies, and classes. The whole school is practically designed to make you succeed.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING - STUDY ABROAD/INTERNSHIPS: I went to the University of Vienna for a study abroad program for a year. That really helped my language; it was a great opportunity to learn and get immersed in a new culture and society. I also received two stipend awards from CWS, the SOS, which I used for volunteering with an NGO fighting against domestic violence and sex trafficking of women. The other stipend was Susan Knafel and I used it for my interning with Austrian Institute for International Affairs. I also did senior thesis research for my German Studies Department.

BEST THING ABOUT WELLESLEY (OR WOMEN'S COLLEGE):I love being appreciated and respected for being a woman. I like knowing: that I am not afraid to stand up and be outspoken about my beliefs and opinions; that if I set my mind to learning something I can do it; and that Wellesley women like to work hard because they just want the best for themselves and for others around them. I appreciate being a woman: something that was enhanced by being in a women's college, especially Wellesley!

DREAM JOB: I want to work either in the government sector or with an international organization, planning the economic policy and strategic analysis both locally [for my own country, Montenegro] as well as on a more global scale. Among the organizations I would like to work for are: WTO, World Bank, Interpol, UNDP, and the Institute for Security and Strategic Studies.

FUN FACT: I love watching and analyzing trailers and commercials!
