Amanda Iglecias Guadanhim Motta

'm currently a senior (near 7th term completion transitioning to final 8th term) enrolled in São Paulo State University, Faculty of Philosophy and Sciences, aiming for a bachelor's degree in International Relations. After graduating high school with honors in 2017, I earned the CAE Certification of Advanced English by the Cambridge English Proficiency Exam. In 2019, I started my freshman year at UNESP (São Paulo State University) with exceptional results. International Relations and Political Sciences always have had a pivotal role in my personal development as a student and later academic researcher. Due to the exceptional teachers and mentors that followed both my high school years as well as my bachelor's program, I managed to grow highly interested in humanitarian affairs and related issues of human sciences. Law and politics became a part of the whole delight of my academic research on human rights. On this day, my final thesis encompasses matters of cultural and political identity, social exclusion, and nationalist issues. I have had the pleasure of experiencing first-hand the joy of academic writing and research in the groups and complementary extensions offered by the university and its distinguished professors. In my first year, I became part of the Observatory of International Conflict (OCI), developing high-quality written material for the Middle East section. Later, in 2020, I remotely co-coordinated the Academic Sector of the International Organizations Study and Research Group (GEO), personally administering students production of academic texts and further material. In 2021, I managed with honors the Sérgio Vieira de Mello Academic Centres role as Vice-President, producing official documentation and financing reports, as well as the mediation of the Students Assembly. Finally, from 2019 until late 2021, I was part of the Tutorial Education Program, directly responsible for the logistics administration of academic events and management of the Immigrants and Refugees Advisory Centre (NAIR). Presently, I participate in the Study and Research Group on International Conflicts (GEPCI), coordinated by Prof. Dr. Sérgio Luiz Cruz Aguilar. I was awarded a Technical Training Scholarship 1 (TT-1) due to my contribution to the research project "Brazil and Colombia in the face of the Securitization of the Venezuelan Migratory Crisis: governability of the migrant population in a condition of vulnerability in the face of organized crime and social stigmatization", financed by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). Finally, I took part in complementary courses such as the Diplomacy course at Fundação Damásio Educacional; Spanish; Introduction to R Language, by the Computer Laboratory of UNESP (LABRI); as well as Excel and High-Performance Public Speaking.
