Profesional Profile
I have solid educational foundation in kinesiology and computer engineering, as well as photography. I have applied that knowledge leading various projects from global expeditions to local state funded workshops, incorporating planning and programming, identification, PR, fundraising, visual statements, events, executive phase operations, monitoring and postproduction undertaking.
Constantly endeavoring to learn new skills, gain new experience and utilize the ones I have, bettering myself and my environment in the process. My commitment to destine goals, creative and visionary approach to problems and delivering optimal solutions, always got me closer to a favorable outcome in any given situation, whether it’s teaching a disabled students class, extreme altitude mountaineering or pushing my limits in athletic performance as a part the Croatian freediving national team.
Awarded as an employee, volunteer, lifeguard, artist, I have proven to be constructive and decisive in various fields, with supreme decision making in life threatening ambience, a well as in a photoshoot or classroom. As a member of several emergency distress units and through active charity work and volunteering, I’m making my community a better place.
