Why I am available as a mentor for the MCI Mentoring Program

During the last 10 years of my career I have learned a lot from mentors myself and I would like to help students with my personal experiences

My wisdom/my motto

When you are not satisfied, change your life or your attitude

When I look back at my time at MCI...

...I can say, with all my heart that it was the best decision I could have taken to study at the MCI
