Just a girl with big dreams. If I think like that, I am not ever going to be much more than that, and neither are you. We all have something to offer, and the world is waiting. The time for us women with vision started long ago, and its up to us to show everyone we are here to stay and slay.
I was born in Croatia and grew up in a single parent household, with a mother being a successful entrepreneur. Her hustle was a big inspiration and put a lot of both stress and motivation for me to live up to my own dreams. Back then, being a successful businesswoman was a rare thing, and it made her thick skinned and our upbringing oriented towards success. I was always very creative and interested in psychology, human behavior and later in college consumer decision making process making it my master’s thesis. Although I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur it was a hard decision and at the age of 21 I opened a company and decided I wanted to give it a shot, as a college buyer behavior project, 8 to 4 pm work,5 to 9 classes. It was a bridal shop, and I was the one and only employee, studying myself and others in the process not even imagining it would have been a thriving business one day. Why? Because at that time, I thought I would make my career in someone else’s company, at least for a period.
