Anissah Estanislau, Sales Development Representative at Moody’s Analytics

My academic journey at Nova School of Business and Economics was a pivotal stepping stone in my professional life.
My Master’s in Management with a major in Strategy and International Business, combining theory, practical experience, and networking in a dynamic environment, allowed to enhance my understanding of global strategic planning whilst in a vibrant academic environment. Along with this degree, I co-founded the Nova Hospitality Club. This endeavor not only allowed me to develop my soft skills but also provided an opportunity to leave a lasting footprint at Nova.
