Lisa is in her final year of a Bachelor’s in European Studies at Maastricht University, where she has spent the past few years navigating the intricacies of international politics, security, and social policy. Writing has always been her way of making sense of things: she loves finding the connections and links between various subjects like politics, economics, and diplomacy; as anything rooted in the human experience is worth understanding. She has lived and studied in Italy, the Netherlands, and France, picking up not just different languages but also a deep appreciation for how culture and politics shape each other. For her, writing isn’t just about telling a story, it’s about putting the pieces together, much like a puzzle of real life.
