Hi! I am Marija – a learning enthusiast and researcher.

One of my biggest professional and private interests is discovering the secrets behind successful living and
thriving in a multilingual environment. As a researcher, I’ve gained the knowledge that helps individuals and
companies understand the importance of cultures and languages for success in global markets. I’ve coordinated
and worked in intercultural teams which was a great opportunity to bring the theory into practice. Finally, as a
parent, I bring almost a decade of experience in raising multilingual children.

Are you a project owner who wants to communicate more efficiently with your international team? Do you want to deliver presentations to your stakeholders who have different cultural backgrounds?
Are you a parent who needs practical and ready-to-use strategies to support your bi/multilingual child? Would you like to develop a language strategy plan and get support on your multilingual journey?

You can learn more languages and cultures here:

Let’s get in touch!
