Chain mentoring
Mentoring is about acknowledging people and the most powerful tool of networking. It’s not about exploiting people’s power or time by having a predetermined purpose in mind, which is commonly misunderstood. For me is mentoring is about connecting through personal touch points, sharing passion, thoughts and mindset that is reflecting each other in different stages…

Reflection of semester 1
3 months has been passed, and the master program has already exceeded every expectation I had for this year.

Newcastle – Half-time report
We have Easter break. Which means, I got one-month no lecturers and the university is not operating. I think it’s a good idea to wrap up the past 3,5 months here in Newcastle. Where should I start.. Well, I am very impressed by the University and the city! The campus is enormous, and the buildings…

Consultancy made by students for microbusinesses in process optimisation and standardisation. After success pays off, my first fashion startup, I decided to start a consultancy together with some coursemates addressing microbusinesses.
