Dumitrița Petrov

My name is Dumitrita Petrov and I took part in the program of Applied Economics at the Theoretical Romanian-English Lyceum ¨Ion Creanga” in 2012-2013, in Chisinau.  The classes were well organized with real economic examples through which we could understand the applicability of Economics. I was motivated to discover this totally new subject therefore, I was coming with interest and joy. I must say it was a privilege to study Economics in school.

In the period of studies, we created a real company called ¨Karikatura” in which I was performing the function of production manager. Later, we represented Moldova in the International Fair of School Companies in Tula city, Russian Federation. It was a great experience where we acquired skills and practical experience in the world of entrepreneurship. Moreover, I became a volunteer of Junior Achievement Moldova and helped organizing National Contests in Economics in Moldova. From this moment, I knew I want to study Economics.

After the baccalaureate I followed my studies in Economics and Management at the Academy of Economic Studies in Moldova, and Bocconi University in Italy. I did my master degree in Economics and Business at the College of Europe, Belgium. All these years I followed my dream with courage, persistence and optimism.

At the moment, I am working in Budget and Finance Division in World Health Emergencies Program at World Health Organization, in Geneva. Each day, I go to work with passion and enthusiasm.

I am very grateful to Mrs. Mariana Sevacov and Mrs. Adela Scutaru for all the support and guidance from the beginning of my career path. I do appreciate the inspiration I got from Junior Achievement Moldova to follow my career in Economics.
