I’m 21, I was born in Poland and I’m a 1st semester BA Top-up student of Fashion Design at VIA Design&Business in Herning in Denmark. I’m ambitious, creative, I learn quickly and value opportunities of personal development.
I’ve been gaining experience in different jobs requiring teamworking. That made me outgoing and developed my communication skills.
