Emilija is a third-year Psychology Major at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. As an international student from Belgrade, Serbia, she was drawn to this fellowship for the very reason of promoting the cultural heritage and reputational standing of my home country in the United States. She hopes to derive a more nuanced understanding of the Serbian American foreign relations and learn about areas of their potential improvement by virtue of participation in this program. Post-graduation at UWEC, she intends to pursue her education further in the form of a PhD in cognitive or clinical neuropsychology.
