Out of 17,000 contestants, Anna managed to impress the jury of the EF Global Intern 2010 contest with her resume and personal video. After much consideration, she was selected as the individual who best encapsulates the ideals of today's youth: open mindedness, curiosity about the world and an adventurous spirit.

Anna, who is a student of journalism in Russia, says in her video; I want to learn something new every day, every minute. Her positive attitude and ambition to develop into a global citizen will be an ideal stepping stone for Anna's global internship in different marketing areas at EF Education First, of which she will be reporting via the EF Global Intern website at http://www.ef.com/globalintern.

When Anna learned that she had been selected as the winner, she was absolutely thrilled saying My emotions are very hard to describe in words. And as the winner of this year's contest, she will become a member of the jury of the upcoming EF Global Intern 2011 contest, which will start with local selections in 60 countries in October 2010.

As Anna states; I like the feeling of being part of the world and now thanks to EF she's about to explore it.
