About

I am currently an international student at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I have always been interested in business and this university has everything what I was looking for. Since I come from a small country like Albania I had to work hard to get here.In the city where I used to live, I was deprived of many things so I decided to leave home at the age of fifteen and move to the capital city of Albania. After I finished a Turkish college there with a GPA of 3.8 overall I was finally accepted at UWM. My parents have always been a great influence in my life and have always wanted me to do what I like most. They have taught me that through hard work you can get anything you want,just like they did.
Why business? Because everything starts with it.
Why Marketing? Because it is an involving field where I can express myself,my ideas, and even more where can I learn how to corporate with other people. I think that Marketing has no right or wrong,each idea is unique on itself. You have to be creative and I think I own this ability.
