Description of experience

After graduating from high school in Labin, in 2006 I enrolled at the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Rijeka, majoring in Logistics and Maritime Management, which I graduated in 2012. Since 2012 and returning to Labin, I am involved in civil society organizations, first as a volunteer, and then since 2013. professionally. To this day, I remain a member of Alfa Albona, where I acquired management skills, project management skills, specializing in informing young people through specialist training network ERYCA, volunteer management at the Volunteer Center of Istria, and several other pieces of training. I became acquainted with social entrepreneurship in 2014, and we are starting to practice it by launching and facilitating social entrepreneurship initiatives. Alpha Albona has since had a stable social-entrepreneurial endeavor through which it creates added value to the community and helps the organization to survive and operate. In 2016, I got a job in the Cooperative for Ethical Financing, where I continue to deal with projects, but also business consulting for associations, cooperatives, micro, and small entrepreneurs, and stakeholders in rural development. I additionally educate myself about cooperative entrepreneurship, ethical banking, and aspects of business sustainability, as well as various business models with an emphasis on social impact. Since 2017, I have been leading the Mediterranean Sculpture Symposium, which manages the Dubrova Sculpture Park near Labin. At the beginning of 2021, I began to deal professionally with the organization and prepare it for a stronger entry into the market to achieve financial sustainability.
