I almost always worked as an administrative assistant despite not having any certificate in this professional area. The experience I have, I gained from working, however I am taking this course to obtain the professional certificate and also to complete the 12th year of schooling.

Despite not having mastered the English language, it was never strange or difficult for me since I started learning it at the beginning of primary school.

I hope to be able to fulfill with excellence what is intended with this training.

A hiking trip through the Alps stands out as my most cherished holiday. The rugged mountains, pristine lakes, and charming villages created a magical atmosphere. Each day brought new challenges and rewards. Climbing to the summit of a peak was physically demanding but incredibly fulfilling. The sense of accomplishment was unparalleled. Evenings were spent cozying up by a fireplace, sharing stories with fellow hikers. It was an adventure that pushed my limits and enriched my soul.
