Milica Mihajlovic
Prime Minister’s Scholarship for Asia, Global Internship in Bangkok
Introduction
I’m Milica, a Chemical and Materials Engineer who’s passionate about sustainability and the environment. I’m from a Southeastern European country called Serbia and have lived in NZ for ten years.
I enjoy travelling and experiencing new cultures, which I hope to do during my PMSA programme in Bangkok. I hope to gain good insight into the Thai culture during my time there, learn of their traditions and work ethics, and, at the same time, represent the NZ culture to the best of my ability. I wish to gain connections overseas through which I hope to further develop my professional skills as an engineer.
