Effective time manager with a strong work ethic, analyzes and solves problems quickly while under pressure. Able to think of a problem from many different perspectives thanks to a diverse background that includes extensive international experience.
Based on my experiences from an exchange year in the USA, I co-founded an educational startup that helped over 20 students fulfill their exchange year abroad by bringing awareness to the prospect of studying abroad.
Company Description
Startup
Based on my experience from an exchange year in the USA, I was continuously asked about my experience and for help by other exchange students or local students from my region. I decided it would make an impact to establish this project through which I would provide information for current and future exchange students. I approached a long-time friend with the same experience with whom I started this cooperation. I was responsible for setting and running the whole website, partnerships with schools that recommend us to their students, finding venues for our presentations, and negotiating with potential investors - through which I strengthened my verbal and written communication skills. I was very happy to see our project grow, as we assisted more than 20 students with their huge life-changing experience, particularly with the matter of finance and fitting into the new cultural environment.
