While being a dual citizen student immensely helped and further helps me discover new ways to approach situations in an open way. The combination of my charisma and outgoing nature allows me to thrive in settings where teamwork matters the most. Regardless of the challenges ahead, I believe that the harder the hardship faced, the stronger the person will become. Integrating business into a global context has always been my passion.
