On 11 November, I attended the 2023 Chevening Awards Orientation event in London, England.
It was nice meeting professionals from different backgrounds from all over the world and sharing our experiences and stories.
At the event, I wore a traditional dashiki shirt with my country's national colours and carried with me both the Nicaraguan and Caribbean Nicaragua flags.
As a young professional, I am honoured to be representing my country, people and culture in this year's Chevening cohort.
I am grateful for this opportunity to continue developing my professional skills in the United Kingdom to favour Nicaragua and the Latin American and Caribbean society.
*For the 2023/2024 year, 71,912 people applied, and 1364 were selected from 140 countries, representing 1.9% of applicants.
