Dear are colleagues,

My name is Maria José Valenzuela, currently PhD student from Health & Psychology doctoral program. I’m truly honored and excited to introduce myself as the new EU Careers Ambassador – EPSO for our university community.

This role is a unique opportunity to build a bridge between our university and the European institutions. As an EU Careers Ambassador, my mission is to inform, inspire, and guide students and graduates who are interested in pursuing a career within the European Union.

I will be sharing resources, organizing events and workshops in the new future, and providing first-hand insights into how to prepare for EU competitions, internships, and job opportunities. Whether you’ve always dreamed of working in an international environment or you’re simply curious to learn more, I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

My goal is to make EU career paths more accessible and approachable—to help you see yourself not just as a student or graduate, but as a future policymaker, translator, economist, lawyer, administrator, or diplomat shaping Europe’s future.

I look forward to meeting many of you at upcoming info sessions and career events. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions or ideas.

Together, let’s open doors to new opportunities across Europe.

Thank you!
