Educational pathway

- BSc in Environmental Sciences
- Natural Resources Management Technician

These give me a scientific and academic background on the main topic of my trainings: environmental issues, sustainability and nature conservation.

- SALTO ToT 2015/2016
- Schumacher Certificate in Leadership and Facilitation

These (and other smaller-scale trainings for trainers that I attended) added more competences to my trainer profile.

I am a constant learner, so I keep reading, attending trainings and approaching any daily-life challenge as a learning experience that can enrich my professional competences.
