About:

I am Mara. I am a woman. A mother. A trainer. A youth worker. I am nice, polite, reliable, hard working. I am harsh, rude, and too honest. Sarah says I am a reflective practitioner. Nerijus says I should be a rebel. Endre says I am a control freak. Well, I think...I am just Mara:)

Mara Arvai has 3 references for past work as a trainer and added 12 tools to the SALTO Toolbox.
