1. Martina Laici
Hi! My name is
I am 20 years old

2. Where I am based
I am a proud Italian born in Rome. I love my
country (especially the food), but what mostly
defines me is my love for travelling; indeed, I
visited around 20 countries. I am always
interested in learning about new cultures and
customs.
I live in Rome, Italy.

about Me

I am graduating from college early.
I started school when I was five years old.
I eat everything.
There is no type of food that I don't like and I am always open to
new culinary experiences.
I love Matcha Tea Latte so much.
I don't like coffee, and I have always looked for substitutes. When I
first went to the US, I tried Matcha Tea Latte at Starbucks and I
completely fell in love with it.

4. I attended "Liceo Classico",
which has a strong focus in
cultural and humanistic
studies.

Educational Background

Graduation
I am currently attending an
American University in the center
of Rome.
I am graduating in May 2022 and
I am looking forward to starting a
Master in Management.

5. Thanks to my semester
abroad in Miami I had the
possibility to travel across
the US and create
meaningful friendships with
amazing people. I also met
people from IE, which is
how I learned more about
this university.

experience

6. Last week I went to Madrid to
visit some friends that I met in
Miami. They are currently
studying at IE and they invited
me to visit both the Masters'
campus and the IE Tower. I had
an amazing overall impression
about the university and I can
already see myself studying
there.

7. Friends and Family
My family means everything to me; thanks to my parents I
had and still have the possibility to explore the world and to
live in an international environment. My friends drive me to
do my best.
Skiing
The mountain is my happy place and winter is my favorite
season. Whenever I have the possibility, I go skiing to Friuli
Venezia Giulia (Italy) with my father, since we have this
passion in common.
Writing
I had a work-related experience during my fourth year of
High School, and I cooperated with other 9 students to
write a short film script for Leonardo Fasoli (a well known
Italian screenwriter). Thanks to this experience, I
discovered my passion for writing, which for me often
represents a possibility to vent.

8. My biggest strengths and qualities
Why I am a valuable candidate to study at IE University
A strong sense of
independence
Public speaking skills
and extroversion
Great ability to work
in group
Even if I am just 20 years old and
I live in my parents' same city,
last year I decided to move and
live on my own. I took this
decision when I started working
and earning enough money to pay
the rent.
I am not a shy person. I love
communicating, presenting,
and sharing ideas even in front
of a large audience.
During my three years at John
Cabot University I had to
complete many group projects
that I always passed with high
grades. My diplomacy helps me
deal with every kind of situation
with other team members.
