Personal Bachground:
I was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, but grew up in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. With a rich, mixed ethnic background, I deeply value equity, as well as diverse perspectives and experiences. Growing up in the Balkans during the post-war period has fostered a strong appreciation for resilience in me, broadened my understanding of societal impact, and highlighted the beauty of blending traditions, languages, and histories.
