More about me and my vision..
In my youth, during my education, I felt the absence of persons in a similar situation as myself being ambitious telling me, “You can handle it” or “Give it a try.” Nevertheless, I decided to go all the way and have since gained invaluable experiences both professionally and in my personal life. It has been challenging and given me bumps on the way, however my pro-active and positive mind-set has made the journey possible. It has been necessary for me to use alternative ways to reach my goals. In some cases I had to finance solutions myself, since the conventional way through the public system was too complicated and too long lasting. Decisions I will never regret and which payed off many times. In other cases, I had to approach solutions/situations differently but always learned that it was possible.
Now, I have decided to shift my focus from my dream of being a Pharma-consultant and turn my focus on people, who are in the same situation as me when I was young but also later in life. Realising the dream of being part of the job-market but first of all get an education. Education forms the vital foundation upon which individuals with physical limitations can build their future. This is often also relevant for people without disabilities.
I invite you to reach out to me, and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
