As a small kid, I lived in Gjilan, a small city east of Kosovo.
at school, I loved math, languages, and art.

Life Up North
International Business student at Häme University of Applied Sciences
I did my major in Marketing as I enjoyed the courses that challenged my creativity. Those were mainly the ones related to communications, design, and culture.
