INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE
Prague
10.2022 - 08.2024
- During this period, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in an international community due to my husband's job relocation. This invaluable experience enriched my cultural awareness, expanded my global perspective, and honed my adaptability skills. Engaging with diverse cultures, meeting people from various backgrounds, and navigating new environments enhanced my interpersonal communication abilities and fostered a deep appreciation for cultural diversity. Additionally, I improved my English through dedicated classes and worked with a personal coach on both life and business aspects. This holistic approach allowed me to grow and develop significantly on both personal and professional fronts. This enriching experience has equipped me with a broader understanding of global interconnectedness and a heightened sensitivity to cross-cultural interactions, which I believe will significantly benefit my professional endeavors.
