Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
Part-time associate educator at Association for Nature, Environment and Sustainable Development Sunce, part-time co-owner of vintage store Bumbak. As a part of Sunce team, I collaborate with adults and children in teaching on the critical topics of ecology and sustainable development. Throughout various projects I encourage the personal use of advocacy skills in young people for promoting social change. I work with project managers and team members to set ambitious but achievable goals, schedule and manage deadlines and adjust workflows as needed. I've organized and implemented events (scheduling meetings, logistics, budgets, site selection, activity planning, transportation and entertainment). Since I obtain a master's degree in Croatian language, I often proofread and edit various texts and documents. As a co-owner of a small business that deals with sale of vintage clothing, I procure, inspect and repair used clothing/footwear/jewelry. Also, I manage website maintenance, finance, sales and marketing, customer service, etc. But mainly, I work on informing and educating about sustainable fashion to conserve natural resources and contribute to the preservation of the Earth.
