Eugeniu is an University Innovation Fellow at Berea College, KY, who works to expand the Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem on his campus. He is an aspiring entrepreneur, musician, tech-lover, and a general enthusiast. Originally from the Republic of Moldova, he is very passionate about international affairs, particularly international non-profit organizations. One of his many goals is to start a non-profit organization that will provide free education for young people in less developed countries.

His interest in global issues sparked during his one-year exchange under the FLEX program. During the 2009-2010 academic year, he lived with an American host family in Albuquerque, NM. That was his first real interaction with the USA and it affected his life in the most positive way possible.

Currently, Eugeniu is studying Economics and Business at Berea College, KY. As part of his college’s program, he works as a video production assistant at Berea College’s Integrated Marketing and Communications Department. In the past two years, however, he was a Media Specialist at his college’s Technology Resource Center. He loves his job and plans to use video as an empathy tool that will connect people from around the globe.
