"Figure out what you are passionate about and follow that drive with all your energy. Don’t just do something because it’s expected of you to do."
Founder of u/skillity, a community for mindful skill sharing.
I oversee the overall operations of our business and manage all marketing activities.
I believe that one of the most important things in life is to figure out what we are passionate about and bring that into reality. I’m inspired by people that don’t follow the traditional path but go beyond all odds to achieve what they are burning for. That is why I decided to build u/skillity, I want to be part of the learning revolution and by that help people to live more fulfilling lives.
No, I started playing around with the idea during my studies and decided to peruse it full time after the competition of my degree.
I gained a foundation towards working independently and learned to push hard to achieve and fulfil my endeavours.
Before I ventured into the startup world I worked as a Junior Marketing Manager at Refund.me. I was lucky to be trusted and given the freedom to try out different things and unleash my creativity. The independence not only gave me the opportunity to learn a lot, but also made me feel more confident in my abilities.
During my studies I was lucky to have met several amazing people that became one of my closest friends. We still see each other regularly and support each other in everything that comes our way.
My fondest memories are definitely connected to the people that I met. Having a group of amazing people share experiences with me has made the university experience even more exciting.
We are all prone to change regardless if we want it or not. Technological advances have sped up the daily alterations eliciting us to have to make a bigger effort in following the changes and trends that come up. It’s inevitable that we have to adapt to the digital reforms.
I hope that we will bring u/skillity to a success that will allow us to have a bigger and global impact in making learning much more accessible and people centred.
