Meet the Founder
My name is Carolina Pessoa, and my academic and professional journey has taken me across multiple continents, enriching my cultural sensibility and experience in diverse environments. Moreover, my studies spanned various subjects, providing me with a broad and interdisciplinary perspective on the world and on human relations.
I pursued Higher Education in Brazil, Russia and France, attending academic institutions such as the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, where I studied a Bachelor's degree of Law; Peter the Great Saint-Petersburg Polytechnic University, where I successfully completed a Foundation Program in Russian Language and Civilization; the Faculty of Letters of Sorbonne University, where I graduated from a Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages Applied to Translation in French, English and Russian; the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where I obtained a Master's degree in International Relations and Cultural Diplomacy; the Paris Cité University, where I graduated from a research Master's degree in Cross-disciplinary Psychoanalysis; and the University of Lorraine, where I completed a Master-level degree program in Political Executive-Office Management.
After working with the theme of International Cooperation in the political sector within the City Hall of Paris or at the French soft diplomacy operator, Institut français, I dedicated most of my professional journey to an international French Higher Education group within its headquarters, in Paris. In my roles as an International Coordinator and Chief of Project for Erasmus+ Professor Mobilities, I managed and facilitated international academic exchanges, as well as labeled double-degree programs and other forms of collaboration with partner universities abroad.
Passionate about Higher Education, immersive travel and cultural exchange, my curiosity drives me to continuously seek new opportunities for learning and growth, professionally, but above all, personally. Through my work and interests, my goals are to foster global education, meaningful human connections and interpersonal awareness across different landscapes.
