At that time I was only one month old. It was a hard year for my family because we had to start from zero. Today, we are living in Germany. I am working as a judicial clerk. I help people to fight for their rights. In my free time, I like to read and to dance. Furthermore I love to travel and to discover new cultures and countries. I am very happy and proud to be Miss Intercontinental Kosovo and to represent my country
in Manila.”
