This is Sara’s second stint at the EIU. After a three month internship in 2010, she left to pursue an MSc in International Public Policy at UCL and returned endowed with an interest in global markets, a desire to understand the changing role of business in society and a mountain of student debt to pay back. She read Italian and Linguistics at St Hugh's College, Oxford, where she developed a troubling infatuation with Petrarch and other medieval authors.
