Experienced with events organization, able to communicate in English, French, a bit of Spanish & German. Interested in "feminine themes", diversity, win-win approach and the combination of those items together with business in one of the biggest Prague’s hotels makes me curious enough. I think everybody is more or less able to distinguish feminine and masculine but how to be feminine in ordinary life, how to live it in business which is rather competitive and how to reach the harmony between feminine and masculine. As a hobby I am studying various approaches in colour therapy (especially focused on clothing), woman´s secrets, fashion design, hand works, I am designing and producing fashion accessories, painting pictures, I have my own web pages, I had several fashion shows.
