International Business College, Lisse

2018-2020

During my high school time at Fioretti College Lisse, I partook in an extra entrepreneurship program called “International Business College”. This gave me the opportunity to build a student company with my peers on one of the five school days in the week. During this period me and some classmates ran an event agency and were responsible for hosting events for businesses and consumers. I was in charge of the sales and customer acquisition, and learned a lot about public speaking, pitching and business during this time.
