The Global Pulse: Vera Baltisser
Vera Baltisser is studying for a Master's degree in International Business at the ZHAW School of Management and Law. Her path is a very special one: she is a mother and was already in the middle of her working life before she returned to university.
"Being 39 years old, I thought it was too late to begin this new journey because we assume all students are young people with fewer life experiences and personal ties. But everything changed when I injured my wrist and was unable to do my job. That was a turning point for me – the moment I had been waiting for. If I couldn’t use my hand properly, I would have to use my brain all the more."
In her interview for Zoom In, Vera shares her career with us, talks about her Master's project in Ghana and tells us about the role she recently played at the United Nations.
