Why did you decide to stay in Serbia?

While still a student, I started working for a large international company. I was very glad to get the opportunity to have such a good start. During these five years, I had the opportunity to develop and learn, and that is why I did not even have the desire to leave my country, because I am satisfied with my development. Also, another reason is family and friends, who mean a lot to me.

What did you want to be when you were little?

A pulmonologist. This is a wish that accompanied me during my childhood. However, when I enrolled in the Law and Business School, that was the time where my love for the economy and work in a company was born, thus my wishes completely changed.

Favorite school subject?

During the entire education period – mathematics! At the faculty – the theory of probability and statistics.

Business role model?

For me, a business role model is someone who inspires and motivates me to work on myself and develop career-wise. I’ve had a lot of people in my life who have influenced me in that way; above all, parents, who have been my lifelong support, friends who have shown perseverance in life despite many challenges, professors who have shown love and dedication to their work, colleagues who progress and achieve success from year to year. I think we can all have a lot of role models in our environment, we just need to recognize them and take the best from them.
