Hello! My name is Lura, and I’m from Tirana, the capital of Albania. I’m excited to start this journey with all of you. Growing up in a country that is constantly developing politically and culturally sparked my interest in politics and diplomacy. Traveling to different countries and cultures has also made me more open-minded, and I’m grateful to my parents for those opportunities.

Volleyball has been a big part of my life. I’ve played for as long as I can remember, representing Albania’s U-18 national team and competing in Albanian Superliga. Outside of sports, I enjoy gaming, going out, and meeting new people. These interests made Global Governance at Tor Vergata appealing to me, as its interdisciplinary approach will let me explore politics, society, economics, and international relations.
