We need to predict as far as possible the skills needed for the future based on what we know and prepare for the unknowns.” #educationalinnovation #skillsforthefuture

I'm excited to share that I've successfully completed the Online International Learning (COIL) project titled 'Sustainability in Accounting and Finance: Developing a Global Mindset.' Led by esteemed trainers Nadia Gulko (University of Lincoln, UK), Elizabeth Gordon (Temple University, USA), and Sanlie Middelberg (North-West University, South Africa), this engaging initiative provided me with invaluable insights into the global dimensions of sustainability within the accounting and finance domain." #SustainabilityInAF

🎉 Last week marked my 5th year of living in Berlin, Germany. From an outstanding full-time MBA experience to a deep dive into Berlin's startup scene, it's astonishing to think about all that I've lived through. With a new year comes new dreams, projects, and challenges. One of my projects is to help incoming master's, or MBA students interested in studying abroad in international schools. I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be supporting Prodigy Finance as an ambassador for the Brazilian market 🚀. As a former MBA student myself, I know firsthand that financing tuition, living costs, and other accessory expenses can be one of the most challenging issues for students from emerging markets. That's why I turned to Prodigy Finance during my MBA degree at ESMT Berlin. Their platform helped me preserve my savings and mitigate risks in the short term. You can also find a link in the comments section where you can learn more about the platform, application process, and schools that Prodigy Finance supports.
