Linda Blessin
Project Management Support Intern
Linda is a Project Management Support Intern at the RBM Partnership to end Malaria, based in Geneva, Switzerland. She is passionate about psychology, economics, food security, development, human rights issues, and climate change, approaching new topics from a holistic perspective.
Linda holds a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and is currently pursuing a second Master's degree in Asia and Africa Studies at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She spent a semester studying at Universidad de La Habana, Cuba, and another semester at Üsküdar Üniversitesi in Türkiye.
During her time working in an economics and management field-based SDG partnership between the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Universidad de La Habana, Cuba, Linda gained over six years of experience. Her responsibilities included organising an annual summer school, a conference, a former scholarship holder week, and facilitating several rounds of small business incubation.
Linda has also gained valuable experience through internships at Nurservicio in Rome, conducting psychology research, and at Capacity for Nutrition-Advisory (C4N) in Brussels, supporting the K4N (knowledge for nutrition) project, part of the GIZ global program food security. There she participated in an intern exchange at GIZ Climate, gaining short-term insights into program evaluation concerning climate adaptation and climate mitigation. These experiences have provided her with insights into the processes of collaboration between international organisations and the importance of capacity development.
Linda enjoys learning languages to connect to other people. She is fluent in German, English, French, and Spanish and is currently learning Italian and Turkish. In her free time, she likes exploring new places – be it in the city or in nature- , cooking slowly, and going to concerts.
