When Aleksandra learned about the Rwandan genocide at age 15, she committed herself to making a difference in the world and participated in local and international Model UN competitions. As an undergraduate, Aleksandra studied law and economics and was elected president of the Australian National University Students’ Association, where she represented over 10,000 students on issues such as mental health, housing and quality of life. Now, after two years in corporate law, she arrives at McCourt ready to achieve her lifelong goal: working in peace negotiation and post-conflict reconstruction, with an emphasis on global human rights.
