Staff profile #33


 

                                           Introducing our new Project Coordinator, Bleta!

Born and raised in Prishtina, Kosovo. Bleta completed her bachelors degree in Speech and Language Pathology at “Kolegji Heimerer” in her hometown. During the last year of her studies, she undertook an internship in a private clinic, where after 6 months she became a full time Speech Therapist for the following  four years. During that time Bleta also started worked with a non-governmental organization in a public school project that had the goal to include more logopedic and psychological sessions in schools.

    

When she’s not working, she likes to cook, but she doesn’t like to take care of the clean up  after cooking. She also likes exploring new places to travel and reading during her free time.

 

When we asked her what she likes about working here in PLAY, she answers: "What I love the most about PLAY is the uplifting energy and the positive values we share every day as a team. This is my first time tackling projects of this scale, and it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. Thankfully, with the team's amazing support, I've managed to turn challenges into triumphs."

 

Even though Bleta has been living in Kosovo all her life, we asked what she loves about Kosovo and its culture, which she explained goes: "As someone who’s grown up in Kosovo, I can’t help but be fascinated by our vibrant cultural scene. The blend of traditional Balkan heritage with modern influences gives our cities, like Prishtina, a unique and lively atmosphere. From historic sites to bustling cafes and artistic expressions, there’s always something happening. And of course, the natural beauty of our landscapes—from the Rugova Mountains to the lush valleys—is simply stunning. What I appreciate most is the freedom to enjoy drinks with family, friends, and colleagues at any hour—it’s a wonderful way to experience the best of both worlds!.

 

And of course she can't run from the "Tell me a fun fact about you" question, which without hesitation she said: “I am not sure if it is a fun fact but when I was a kid I would usually get lost at the beach”.

But NO worries Bleta, all of us did at some point.
