Teresa Olombrada grew up in Brussels, just steps away from the main institutions of the European Union. And after living and studying in that environment, she grew enchanted with the idea of becoming a diplomat.
For her, IE University’s main points of appeal were the chance to pursue the dual degree she wanted, as well as the opportunity to come back to Segovia and find her roots. Teresa says she chose the program because it strikes the right balance between the study of comparative law and international relations, allowing students to trace the foundations of countries’ policymaking and politics back to their individual approaches to law.
Through her internship with the IE University Athletics department, Teresa undertook a project to promote sports participation among young girls and women in Segovia. She notes that the transition between the classroom and the professional world is a smooth one because of the university’s expert faculty and practical, collaborative approach to learning.
In the podcast, Teresa explains why her philosophy has always been to say yes to every opportunity—from studying abroad in Istanbul to leading the university’s women’s soccer team as captain—and why it’s made her who she is today.
