Hei! I’m Zuleika Mohamed, an elected representative for Aalto Mikkeli’s International Business students. So far, it has been an honour to work with the dedicated, warm, and sociable cohort that is International Business, and it's our classic Mikkeli spunk that I wish to contribute to KY. In true Mikkeli fashion, we ensure that each teacher concludes their three-week module with a memorable memento and handwritten letter from us, which I and a fellow class representative fundraise for. It is a tradition that represents the values that this short time in Mikkeli has instilled in me, which I strive to implement in KY.
I have moved seven times all around the world, which has made me an adept cultural communicator and confident speaker. Wherever I move, I make sure to contribute to the local communities. In recent times, I have coordinated with a local Finnish NGO to do food drives in the Helsinki area, volunteered at a local animal shelter to help cats assimilate to human companionship, and collected seeds to replant more than 50 oak trees.
In terms of hobbies, I have dabbled in all kinds of mismatched activities, from content creation to dance to entrepreneurship, no-code, and UI/UIX creation. All in all, I aspire to create an environment where all personalities can thrive no matter how weird the interest or how niche the playlist. So, if a peer ever catches me in the hall and strikes up a conversation about hobbies, I can’t help but suspect we’d have one in common. After all, that's the Mikkeli way!
