Summary

Entering the business world at an early age, I began working in the fish industry at just eight years old in Brussels' largest market—a family trade where I still contribute whenever I am in the city. Through years of hands-on experience, I have developed strong sales and communication skills, along with expertise in fish handling and customer engagement. My father prioritized high-level education, enabling me to become fluent in six languages. Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in London, I am expanding my global experience with a semester abroad at Pace University in New York City. Passionate about learning and highly adaptable, I thrive in diverse environments and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm.
