Olivia FALANGA

Operations Intern at OXUS Development Network

NantesPays-de-la-Loire - France

I am currently a student in masters (M1) at Audencia Nantes School of Management in France. I study Business Management in general and more specifically corporate law, finance, management, and marketing.

I have decided to specialize myself in microfinance, especially the operational side of microfinance, through my choices of interships.

I am a born South African and have travelled all over the world since. Therefore I am very much attracted to the international dimension in a company.
