Hello, My name is Raphaël, I am a 3rd-year student from France, currently on a 4-month exchange at KIMEP University in Almaty. Having grown up between two cultures — French and Cambodian nationality — I have always been drawn to environments that cross borders, which is part of why I chose to come study business on the other side of the world rather than staying within a more familiar exchange destination in Europe. That international perspective is also what draws me most to business today: I am particularly interested in finance, but just as much in entrepreneurship, especially when it plays out across different markets and cultures. Alongside my studies, I have moved through fairly different environments: three months as a Business Developer at a commercial consulting firm working with SMEs in the Paris region, several stints in hospitality and event staffing (including high-volume Parisian restaurant), and two years of competitive boxing at a high level. It is a somewhat varied path, but one that reflects how I like to test myself in different settings before settling into one direction. What I am looking for in a mentor is fairly broad but purposeful: guidance to help sharpen my career direction, a clearer, first-hand understanding of what it actually looks like to work in finance or entrepreneurship, and building my professional network. I am someone who asks questions, follows through, and wants to make the most of this exchange, both academically and personally. I would be glad to build that kind of exchange with you. ( !!! I speak French and English but not russian unfortunately) Looking forward to hearing from you,
 Raphaël
