Summary

Since 2014, I have actively pursued personal and professional development through various training programs in areas such as personal growth, leadership, and human rights. These learning experiences have shaped my commitment to continuous improvement and excellence.

Over the past decade, I have engaged with more than 10 public and non-governmental organizations, honing my skills in translation, volunteer management, and event coordination. Notably, I have contributed to high-profile events, including the 'Formula 1' Grand Prix team and the 'Youthvision' Music Competition. These roles have allowed me to further develop my language proficiency, communication abilities, and collaborative skills, particularly in diverse and fast-paced environments.

In addition to my volunteer work, I earned the prestigious first-place prize at the republic level in chess in 2019, which demonstrates my strategic thinking and problem-solving capabilities.

Furthermore, I possess a strong technical skill set, with proficiency in Microsoft Office, Adobe programs, and programming languages such as JavaScript and HTML5. My extensive volunteer experiences, combined with my diverse skills, have prepared me to excel in dynamic professional settings, where I can contribute to organizational success while continuing to grow and evolve in my career.
