About

I have always been deeply driven by the desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals who need support and compassion. My motivation stems from personal experiences, particularly when I cared for my elderly grandmother who battled a chronic illness. Witnessing her struggles and the difference that attentive care could make in her daily life solidified my commitment to pursue a career in social care. I saw firsthand how quality care can not only maintain but enhance a person’s dignity and quality of life during challenging times. This experience sparked a genuine passion in me to support others in similar situations. I believe that my personal qualities and professional skills equip me well for a career in social care. Empathy, patience, and resilience are traits that I've nurtured over the years and are essential in this field. Additionally, I have developed strong communication and crisis management skills through my previous volunteer work at a local community center. I am also committed to ongoing learning and professional development to ensure that I can provide the most effective and informed care possible. My ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds and understand their unique needs enables me to provide personalized care that respects their dignity and promotes their independence. I am passionate about environmental conservation and advocate for sustainable practices through community engagement. My skills are diverse, including proficiency in digital communication, problem-solving, and fluency in Croatian, which enrich my professional and volunteer endeavors. I have a deep appreciation for music, which influences my personal and creative life. For leisure, I enjoy reading historical works, and engaging with nature through hiking, kayaking, and wildlife photography, allowing me to unwind and connect with the world around me I would also like to mention my strong commitment to teamwork and collaboration. My background in coordinating with diverse groups has honed my ability to work effectively in team settings, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. I'm known for my resilience and adaptability, traits that have been essential in managing challenges both in professional settings and personal projects. My enthusiasm for cultural exchange and language learning has not only expanded my linguistic skills but also my empathy and understanding of different perspectives. Lastly, I'm highly organized and detail-oriented, skills that enable me to manage multiple projects efficiently and to a high standard
