I managed projects for three employers, the last project being responsible for 20 employees. In addition to my full-time job, I studied Social Work at two different universities for three years. In February 2022 I completed my bachelor's degree, in August 2022 my master's degree. I am open to venturing into new spheres professionally in order to be able to apply and deepen my communicative, language skills as well as my socio-educational knowledge from critical diversity management to project management to personnel development.
