Dinda Jamarik
BSc (Hons) in International Business & Management | 2021
Marketing Specialist at LEISURE, Qatar
Studying at UNM was a defining chapter in my life — one that shaped me both academically and personally. Beyond the classroom, UNM opened doors to opportunities that pushed me to grow further. One of these was the chance to participate in an exchange program at Bocconi University, where I was able to explore new ideas and immerse myself in a different academic and cultural setting. That experience complemented my degree and reinforced my passion for understanding global business and management.
