About
Hello, dear visitor, and welcome to the “know more about me” page!
I have always believed that the more ways you can look at a problem, the more complete the solution will be.
Because of that, I highly value my career as both a chemical and environmental engineer and use its
versatility when approaching new challenges.
Below is how I have been utilizing both so far. But, first, who I am.
Chemical & Environmental Engineer.
I lived, studied, and worked in Bosnia and Herzegovina until 2017, when I moved to the United States of America and have lived and worked in Indiana since then.

I got my M.Sc in Technical sciences in the field of Environmental Engineering In 2014. My B.Sc is in Chemical Engineering. My given knowledge and experience provide the foundation to answer many questions. Add the seven years of environmental compliance expertise gained in the US to my European chemical engineering and environmental consulting experience and you will see a knowledgeable man in different fields and regulations. The professional experience that I have had until now enable me to work both in the group and individually.

I have been a part of design teams that have designed Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP), Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) Landfills, Chemical Storages, ..., and have conducted numerous Environmental Monitorings and
Assessments.
I conduct partial and full air compliance assessments to enforce environmental laws and regulations.
I visit manufacturing plants, factories, and other industrial sites to inspect operations and enforce
environmental standards.

Skills
Through my education, career, and life experience, I gained excellent skills in MS Office package,
Geographic Information System (GIS), CAD Software, Project and Time Management.
Through the years, I learned Empathy, Adaptability, and the importance of Continuous Learning. That's why I
am learning to code with Python, Django, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
I am Bilingual/Multilingual - native in Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian and fluent in English.
Thanks to the fact that I lived, studied, and worked in Europe and now work in the USA, I have experience
working in different systems and cultures.
