Early Interest in Sports

Since childhood, I have been passionate about sports, especially basketball. Growing up, I played for the league team ‘MZT Skopje.’ This opportunity led us to secure third place in the national league. All my medals are signed by Mr. Vrbica Stefanov, and I am very proud of that time in my life.

I enjoy trying new things but never gave up on sports. I represented my school in an athletics competition for shot put, winning third place. While I never gave up on sports, I explored new areas like kickboxing and Jeet Kune Do. Although not professional, these activities helped me stay in shape, live healthily, and learn new skills.

The Turning Point in High School

In high school, I decided to study languages and discovered I had a natural talent for it, possibly influenced by my mother, a Macedonian language professor. However, my path changed unexpectedly when a new math teacher, Slobodanka Kiselovska, joined our school. She sparked my interest in math and guided me to understand it better. Over time, my love for math grew, and I continued taking additional classes.

One day, I decided to follow my heart and pursue math. I prepared rigorously for the country math exam, dedicating every day to study. The effort paid off when I passed the exam and enrolled in the Faculty for Technical Science.

Journey to Technical Consulting

My cousin, already enrolled at FINKI, showed me the faculty’s learning program and some exams, increasing my interest. I enrolled at FINKI and completed my four-year degree on time, earning numerous recognitions and certificates in the field.

Today, I am a technical consultant with a Bachelor’s degree and over three years of experience. I am also a key contributor to an open-source project. I am proud of my journey and grateful for the opportunity to explore different learning areas, work hard, and achieve success. My life motto is to never give up, believe in yourself, and know that everything is doable. There is always a way.
