Originally from Novi Sad, Serbia, I spent my formative years in Vancouver, BC, where I garnered most of my educational experiences—with a memorable year in Warsaw, Poland. (Curious about my last day there? Let's chat!)

Football (or soccer, as some might say) runs deep in my veins, and I have a keen appreciation for comedy, crafting cocktails, and forming genuine connections.

I thrive in the company of problem-solvers, and while I consider myself one too, my strength lies in active listening and posing insightful questions. To me, the essence of authentic communication hinges on understanding individuals and asking the right questions.

While I'm immersed in the world of technology, a part of me wonders about an alternate reality where I delved into psychology or counseling. As for the future, envision a comedy club with an extensive cocktail menu, owned by yours truly—and consider this your invitation!
