Sarah Borges

Estudar Fellow 2023 Psychology, Harvard

More than opening doors, Fundação Estudar showed me that it doesn’t matter where you come from, but how far you are willing to go. I get emotional when I think that, through the Fellows Community, some of my biggest idols and inspirations were able to become my mentors and close friends.
