About Me
I am an energetic, dedicated business innovation strategy specialist. I am a curious and sharp thinker, who has had the chance to study and work in six different countries. International experiences have greatly influenced my approach to work and its ethics. What I love the most is finding creative solutions to problems, especially when the process involves working with a diverse group of people. I enjoy challenging my perspectives and learning from people with different cultural and intellectual backgrounds. I am looking to work in a dynamic environment that would allow me the freedom to work innovatively and entrepreneurially while surrounded by passionate minds.
