I strive to be the very best

in everything I do.

I graduated from the International School of Prague in 2006

with an IB Diploma

and went on to study Mathematics and Economics at the University of Warwick, UK

After a particularly demotivating second year I realized that I am not a pure mathematician after

all and decided that I need to cut my losses and move on.

In the two years that followed I worked fulltime in telecom as anyone from a project manager to an analyst to a business analysis consultant.

Here is what I learned about myself.

• I LOVE TO LEARN AND I DO SO QUICKLY AND THOROUGHLY

• I AM METICULOUS, RELENTLESS, AND RESOURCEFUL WHEN IT COMES TO MEETING GOALS OR OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

• I REACT AND ADJUST QUICKLY TO CHANGING CONDITIONS AND COME UP WITH PRACTICAL IDEAS FOR DEALING WITH THEM

• I AM PURPOSEFUL AND DRIVEN TO GET THINGS DONE QUICKLY, ACCURATELY, AND INVOLVING THE NECESSARY PEOPLE

• I RESPOND POSITIVELY AND ACTIVELY TO CHALLENGE AND PRESSURE AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MY ABILITY TO HANDLE PROBLEMS AND PEOPLE

But, having reached a certain level I also knew that I need a university degree.

INSERTDIPLOMATO CONTINUE

Having once pursued the purest of sciences, I was eager to get down and dirty with engineering

so, in September ’10 I began my BSc in Aerospace Engineering at the Delft University of Technology, NL

Three rewarding years later I am ready to graduate, with my final exams in October ‘13

What my Curriculum Vitae won’t tell you is

that

I AM, FIRST AND FOREMOST, A LEADER. FORMALLY OR INFORMALLY I WAS RECOGNIZED AND SUPPORTED BY MY TEAM AS THE TEAM LEADER IN EVERY GROUP PROJECT IN THE PAST 3 YEARS AT TUDELFT (THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 8 PROJECTS, IN TEAMS OF 10-20, EACH LASTING 10-20 WEEKS).

I THRIVE ON HELPING OTHERS – BE IT WITH ADVICE, OR THROUGH ACTION. IN THE SECOND DESIGN PHASE OF MY BSC THESIS PROJECT I STEPPED DOWN FROM THE POSITION OF CHAIR/PM AND CHOSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GRAPHICAL DESIGN INSTEAD, BECAUSE THEN I COULD HELP EVERY TEAM MEMBER DIRECTLY, MAKING THEM MORE EFFECTIVE AT COMMUNICATING THEIR IDEAS.IN MY JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL I ORGANIZED AFTERSCHOOL MATH TUTORIALS FOR GROUPS OF IB STUDENTS AND WAS AN UNOFFICIAL SUBSTITUTE FOR THE IB HIGHER LEVEL MATH CLASS.

WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL I DID KYOKUSHIN KARATE AND FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS I HAVE DEVOTED MOST OF MY SPARE TIME TO AN OLD JAPANESE MARTIAL ART – KATORI SHINTO RYU.

I PLAYED THE VIOLIN FOR 11 YEARS BUT FOUND NO MEANS OF SELF-EXPRESSION THROUGH CLASSICAL MUSIC AND SWITCHED TO GUITAR IN MY JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL.

DESPITE HAVING LIVED IN 5 VERY CULTURALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES (OR MAYBE BECAUSE OF IT) I FEEL MOST AT HOME IN THE US.
