Laurea experiences: Global Health and Crisis Management student Velumma Valtari

Master’s studies in Global Health and Crisis Management — Velumma’s story
Velumma Valtari moved to Finland from Brazil and recently completed her Master’s degree in Global Health and Crisis Management at Laurea. With a background in social work, she was drawn to this programme by its unique combination of healthcare and crisis response — and it exceeded her expectations.

💬 “I thought I knew things... and then wow.”
For Velumma, the programme broadened her perspective, offered deep discussions with professionals in the field, and reaffirmed her passion for making a difference through her work.

🎯 Her goal is clear: to build a career in the field she loves. And she sees Laurea’s supportive environment — from staff and professors to practical learning — as a major factor in helping her get there.
