Education

2017 - 2018

I enrolled in the first year of Mathematics-Economics for 2 reasons: 1. I wanted to get a better understanding of theoretical economics and its impact on our society. 2. I needed 10 ETCS in Probablity & Statistics, Calculus & Linear Algebra to enroll into my desired master's degree. This plan was interrupted by an attractive job offer from Aivero.
