Personal statement
I have a passion for helping people through my career, no matter what the circumstances or who the people are. In my current position as Economist and Trade Specialist for the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam, I have a great opportunity to turn this passion into reality.
I have a strong belief in fair and sustainable trade, where the fruits of economic and trade liberalization can be equally shared with all people. Trade, in my view, should not necessarily only benefit big multinational companies. Small and medium enterprises, and start-ups should reap the fruits, and people from all walks of life should not be left behind. I trust the Master of Global Trade can help me fulfill my dream to ensure trade is inclusive.
The course has proven its quality beyond my expectation. Experienced and enthusiastic professors, an outstanding training facility and wonderful cohorts all make the course the most rewarding learning journey for me.
I am so grateful for the Hinrich Foundation's support that enables me to pursue my dream. I fully share its vision of better and more open trade on a global scale. The Foundation is helping not only me but also all my colleagues in the course to create a synergic positive impact on free global trade and sustainable wealth. I trust we will make a different, better world by promoting global trade.
