Work experience
In 2021, I founded the organisation Make it Happen, where I currently manage Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps projects. My work focuses on empowering young people through non-formal learning and international mobility, helping them develop practical skills, confidence, and a sense of social responsibility. I design and facilitate training courses, youth exchanges, and workshops that encourage active participation, creativity, and intercultural understanding.
