About Nagina
Moving to Germany meant more than starting a Master’s degree; it meant starting a new chapter of my life. As an Afghan woman, I had to leave behind my home, career, and the life I had built, and begin again in a new country with new challenges and opportunities.
“As you start on the way, the way appears.” — Rumi (Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi)
Today, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in International Management at University of Applied Sciences Saarland (htw saar), where I combine my passion for marketing, communication, and international development with my interest in women’s empowerment and social impact. Through my studies, professional experiences, and research, I have learned that resilience is not only about overcoming challenges but also about creating new opportunities and using those experiences to inspire and support others.
My journey has taught me the value of education, adaptability, and connecting with people from different backgrounds. I believe that every new beginning brings opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to a more connected world. Through storytelling and content creation, I hope to share perspectives that encourage intercultural understanding and highlight the diverse experiences of international students.
