Hosted by Elizabeth Vulaj, a podcast exploring the journeys of professional Albanians, sharing their challenges, successes, and hopes, with the next generation and beyond.
Enri Lala is a fourth-year History & Global Studies major at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Born in Tirana, he immigrated to California at 11, and has called the state home since. Enri founded and serves as Chief Editor of Arbanon Magazine, a youth-led media platform focused on Albanian history and current events. In partnership with other young Albanian-Americans, he hopes to grow this into a multimedia enterprise, focused on stories from the community and beyond. With internship experience in the U. S. House of Representatives, Congressional campaigns, and international relations research, he plans to pursue a career of service in American national security and diplomacy.
In our chat we talk about his take on the importance of internships, his goals for his future and the magazine, and how he strives to achieve that ever so elusive "work life balance".
