Nejra Gurbeta

My name is Nejra Gurbeta, I’m 20 and I live in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am an honours graduate from the First Bosniak High School and I’m currently studying Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the International Burch University with a view to becoming a professional engineer. I’m also a student member of the IEEE. I volunteer with various organisations and at events such as the Sarajevo Film Festival, the European Youth Olympic Festival, the PBGS Model United Nations, the Sarajevo Youth Film Festival and the Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering in BH, among others. I’ve broadened my horizons through volunteering, which has given me the opportunity to come into contact with different people. I’ve also had the opportunity to work on various scientific projects such as eTwinning: ‘Famous Female Mathematicians 2’ and ‘The Effects of Vitamin C in GMO-selected Fruits and Vegetables’ for the European Researchers’ Night. I’m an amateur photographer and I enjoy using my skills to convey a meaningful story, reveal the different aspects of everyday things and inspire individuals the ‘other side’ of the screen. I also compete in a number of different races (Vivicitta – Challenge of Equality, Race for the Cure, Sarajevo 5K Spring Run, Democracy Race).
