The bachelor's studies have provided a comprehensive understanding of the economy. The passion for innovation drove me to pursue a Master's degree in Management of Innovation at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. During my studies, I conducted a thesis on business strategies for luxury and fashion heritage companies in the digital era and explored ways to shift the paradigm for innovating in the creative industries. This experience has given me a multidisciplinary approach and a strong interest in promoting innovation in the fashion industry. With my latest practical experience in business development at a sustainability-focused startup, I am eager to continue exploring innovative solutions within established fashion houses. My diverse background, coupled with a determined and holistic mindset, positions me to make a meaningful impact in shaping the future of the creative industries.
