My university exchange in England allowed me to work and study in an international setting, developing my ability to interact with people from different cultures and quickly integrate into various contexts. This experience gives me ease in managing projects with an international scope.

Analysis and Critical Thinking

My studies in economics and management have refined my analytical and critical thinking skills. I have worked on case studies and real-world issues requiring a methodical approach to identify relevant and applicable solutions.

Decision-Making

Ability to react quickly and make well-informed decisions under pressure. My role as an assistant manager confronted me with situations requiring immediate responsiveness, whether handling unexpected events, adjusting staffing, or ensuring customer satisfaction.
