The main focus is to experiment with how Agile, especially Scrum, works in Software development, and how organizations and the teams within them can benefit the most from it while developing the only Scrum software for strategy building and goal performance. In Polifinity, you can either see me as a Scrum Master, researching and discovering how can we be more agile and how can we improve our Scrum practices. Also, you can meet me at a MeetUp organized by the Agile Society.

Youth Mentor

Jan 2023 - Present
Like in most of my mentoring positions of young people, here I'm mentoring them in the process of implementation of their initiatives. Here we talk about local initiatives in the municipality of Kisela Voda in the city of Skopje. What is interesting here, besides the project planning and the activities, is that the group is mixed and we have young people with disabilities on the team. Considering this the mentoring of this team will focus on the teams' ability to adapt to their differences and embrace them as their biggest strengths. Show less

While working in Youth Can, you would probably see me around on almost all of the youth lead activities, supporting the young people that organized them. My main activities were focused on managing the membership programs and youth leadership teams in the organization, while coaching, mentoring, and consulting with the members for their volunteer and activist activities.Although I was responsible for all of the different youth teams, my main focus was the mental health activities and projects that worked on the psychological safety of young people in their everyday environment while working on their career paths.

Feb 2021 - Dec 2021
As part of the project Support to Electoral Reforms in North Macedonia, I had the opportunity to follow and monitor the political parties’ promises reflected in electoral programs and government policies at local and central levels, and hold them accountable for their performance and actions. In specific, following the implementation of the Law for youth participation and youth policies. During the process, I worked closely with the community and mobilize it to raise its voices, join me in the monitoring activities, and demand responses and accountability from the political parties and government representatives. To contribute to the changed behavior of the political parties toward the electorate and citizens in general, I realized training and workshops with local youth, youth workers, and government officials.
