About Me
I am a young, passionate and ambitious woman part of the excellence CEMS master program in Belgium and as from September 2018, I will entirely dedicate myself to the professional world.
I love to acquire knowledge. One of my biggest quality is to be a quick learner. I constantly challenge myself to acquire new skills and getting out of my comfort zone becomes a habit.
Over the past year, I have developed a strong interest in latest technologies and digital strategies. I am fascinated of how much they can change the world and it is crucial for me to understand them if I want to be a leader in today's and tomorrow's world.
Today, I am more than ready to take on new challenges and I am open for job opportunities all over Europe where I can enter a steep learning curve and build a positive impact inside and / or outside your company.
