Maria Kahlert

Social Events Officer

I am a highly motivated International Relations Master's student with a strong passion for diplomacy, driven by the desire to foster sustainable international relationships, collaborate with inspiring individuals from diverse cultures, and apply my language skills.

My enthusiasm for immersing myself in different cultures led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Global Business Administration at Renmin University of China, including a one-year exchange at ESADE Business School in Spain. This experience allowed me to expand my international network, strengthen my intercultural competencies, and develop the ability to work effectively in global teams.

Focusing on political science electives during my Bachelor's, working for the German Society for the United Nations, and engaging with diplomats in Beijing confirmed my passion for international relations and diplomacy, motivating me to pursue my Master’s degree at Luiss University.

Outside of academics, I am an outdoor sports enthusiast, passionate dancer, and advocate of authentic travel, with a strong engagement in the Couchsurfing community, allowing me to host and be hosted by locals.
