My name is Maria and I am an international student in Stockholm, Sweden. I travelled to Sweden from Athens, Greece, to study biomedicine at the Karolinska Institute. I chose this degree at this place because it is one of the best 50 universities in the world for life sciences.

While I was still at school, I came across an advertisement for Finnish upper secondary school chemistry competitions. I decided to participate, and I performed quite well.
Due to my success in the competition, I received an invitation to Finland’s Chemistry Olympiad training, where Finnish upper secondary school students were prepared for the International Chemistry Olympiad.

I had the honour and privilege of being invited to GUA’s 2023 Summit as the global winner in the classical studies and archaeology category. My initial reason for submitting to the awards was not actually to win a prize.
