Karina Zybaczynski
Business Development InternAs a Business Development intern, Karina supports the EMEA team in identifying and engaging potential future partner universities. Her responsibilities lie in generating and qualifying leads, maintaining and updating CRM data, and assisting with client outreach and follow-ups.
Karina grew up in Bucharest, Romania, and moved to the Netherlands to pursue a Bachelor’s degree. She is currently a third-year student of Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics at the University of Amsterdam, majoring in Economics & Business. Alongside her studies, she takes time to enjoy Amsterdam for its bustling city life, as well as its vibrant cultural scene.
As an international student herself, Studyportals’ mission resonates deeply with her. Transparent and equitable access to education is becoming increasingly important in an ever changing, globalized world. Further, Studyportals’ work culture and values make it a fantastic environment to learn and grow, which she is extremely grateful to be a part of!
Her key challenge is ensuring that she can translate company’s mission across the wide and intrinsically multicultural area that EMEA covers, especially understanding and adapting to different communication styles.
Karina is an avid reader, and she enjoys scrapbooking as her occasional creative outlet. Whether it’s sci-fi, fantasy, or historical fiction, she loves delving into a good book whenever she can.
Her favorite element about Studyportals is Eindhoven’s office stunning view overlooking the city is one of her favorite ‘perks’ of working at Studyportals.
