A friend introduced Ainura to Enactus three years ago at university. As program manager, she says she has developed the ability to think strategically and professionally to be a good leader. Enactus has helped Ainura overcome her fear of public speaking. “I really wanted to become a speaker, so I practiced a lot and thanks to Enactus I overcame this fear,” says Ainura. “Now I feel confident on stage and want to help other students.” At Enactus World Cup, Ainura hopes to find new ideas and gain experience in project presentation to a large audience in a new country. An International Relations of Foreign Affairs major, she plans to graduate in 2019.
