I\u2019m an early\u2011career founder and strategist working at the intersection of brand, systems, and education. I was born in Ohrid, raised between North Macedonia and Serbia, shaped in Armenia at UWC Dilijan, and now study Management & Business (with an Entrepreneurship minor) as a Davis UWC and AOP Scholar at Skidmore College. Today, my focus is building JUSU Group and its brands while keeping my work grounded in clear outcomes, not noise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

My path so far…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

I grew up moving between North Macedonia and Serbia, in a family with deep Ottoman Turkish roots and a lot of complexity. That cross\u2011border upbringing, plus 11 languages, forced me early to think about identity, belonging, and how people read you based on where you\u2019re from and how you show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

In 2022, I joined UWC Dilijan in Armenia, ranking first across all rounds of the North Macedonia selection process. At UWC, I completed the IB Diploma while organizing TEDxYouth@UWCDilijan, directing admissions for DiliMUN, co\u2011creating the DiliSprouts school\u2011garden and nutrition project, teaching sustainable arts at Dilijan International School (DIS), helping launch ATLAS Magazine, and helping build youth\u2011climate initiatives like LCOY Armenia. That period taught me how to turn personal urgency into disciplined, collaborative work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Alongside UWC, I completed\u00a0Yale Young Global Scholars<\/strong>\u00a0(and later became a YGS Ambassador) and the\u00a0Babson College Summer Study (EPS110)<\/strong>, and took part in Erasmus+ exchanges across Europe. These experiences gave me both entrepreneurial training and a broader sense of how ambition, privilege, and opportunity actually operate across countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, I moved to Saratoga Springs to study at Skidmore College. I\u2019m pursuing a B.S. in Management & Business with an Entrepreneurship minor as a Davis UWC and AOP Scholar, while building JUSU Group, writing for Skidmore News, working in Communications, Marketing & News at Skidmore\u2019s Office of Communications and Marketing, and taking on operator roles in spaces like legal tech, fashion, and retail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
