Meet Shafaa from Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩

“Passionate about entrepreneurship since high school, I finally took the leap and enrolled in the Master of Business in Entrepreneurship and Innovation programme at the University of Otago! 🎓✨

Coming from a fast-paced, big-city environment like Jakarta, living in Dunedin and studying at Otago has been such a captivating shift. I’ve learned to slow down, live mindfully, and truly appreciate the journey. 🌿🌿

Looking back, I couldn’t be more grateful for choosing Otago. Beyond the stunning views, it has given me:

🌍A global community of friends from every corner of the world
🚀Countless opportunities to level up my entrepreneurial skills
🤝Direct connections with inspiring founders and mentors”
