Rocio Do Nascimento Santamaria, Other (not working at IDT anymore)

I hold a degree in Business Administration and I recently started a Master’s in Regional Development with the aim of pursuing a PhD in the field of econometrics and statistics, which has been my main academic interest throughout my studies. During my degree, I completed a study exchange in the Netherlands, where I lived for five months and deepened my knowledge of finance through a specialized minor. This international experience not only strengthened my academic background but also enhanced my adaptability and cross-cultural skills.

I have just joined Mälardalens University as an assistant project manager, where I contribute to the coordination and development of research projects.

I have a strong academic interest in econometrics and statistics, particularly in their application to regional development and economic growth. My current focus is to strengthen my research skills through a Master’s degree as preparation for pursuing a PhD.
