On 2 September, Mónica Snipes Escalada will start a six-month traineeship at SwissCore.
We are excited to welcome Mónica Snipes Escalada as our new Trainee for Research. Mónica is currently finishing a Bachelor’s degree in International Affairs at the University of St. Gallen. During her studies she has focused on the topics of political science and economics and has participated in the National Model United Nations in New York.
Mónica has gained practical experience in communication and event organisation through her role in Prospective Student Marketing at the University of St.Gallen. Her leadership in the Pieces Organization, which aims to improve English education in secondary schools in the developing world, and her volunteer work with the Youth Red Cross in Zurich, providing afternoon activities to children with refugee backgrounds, reflect her interest education and social sustainability.
Mónica is eager to contribute to the SwissCore team with her passion for international cooperation and European policy. Her enthusiasm for exploring the intricacies of European integration will be a great asset as she will support our European Advisor for Research and participate in key projects at SwissCore.
