A Voice in Belgium with Mirela Mazalu

Dr. Jill Creighton, NASPA
About this episode

This week on SA Voices From the Field, we interviewed Mirela Mazalu, Secretary General of the European University College Association (EucA)

Mirela Mazalu spends her day job in the European higher education by helping students explore career pathways and gain confidence in their potential. 

When she's not pursuing directly students' aha moments, she does it indirectly by organising professional development initiatives for student affairs staff internationally.

Her official job title is Secretary-General of the European University College Association - EucA, a non-profit association based in Belgium. 

She joined EucA in 2010 and serves in her current capacity since 2017. 

Mirela speaks 5 languages, Romanian, Italian, English, Spanish and French, and has lived in 3 countries, Romania, Italy and Belgium. 

But the best title she has is, simply, international educator.

When asked where home is, she feels most comfortable replying "Europe".
