Staff  Profile #35



Meet Vesa.

Born and raised in Prishtina, the vibrant capital of Kosovo, Vesa is nearing the culmination of her studies in Management, Business, and Economics with a specialization in Banking, Finance, and Insurance. Her academic journey reached an exciting milestone during her final year when she participated in the Erasmus+ program in Germany, an experience that significantly enhanced both her professional and personal growth.

Alongside her studies, Vesa has gained valuable experience as a content writer and an accounting intern, which has further honed her skills and fueled her passion for the financial sector. Currently, she is expanding her horizons as a Project Assistant Intern at PLAY, which will allow her to explore different roles of pedagogical development and project coordination to further diversify her skill set.

In her free time, she enjoys spending quality moments with family and friends, going out, reading, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

 

When we asked her what she likes about working here in PLAY, she answerd: “What I like most about my current position as a Project Assistant Intern at PLAY is the opportunity to gain new experiences and learn from a supportive and helpful team. The positive energy and vibe in the office also contribute to a motivating and enjoyable work environment.”

 

We asked Vesa about her favorite thing in Kosovo, which she answered: “My favorite thing about Kosovo is definitely the people and the atmosphere. After spending time away from home, I have come to truly appreciate the warmth and friendliness of my fellow locals. Prishtina, in particular, has a vibrant energy and an exciting atmosphere—there’s always something to do, and the city never feels boring. The sense of community and the lively environment make it a unique and special place.”

 

And of course we didn’t forget about our “one fun fact about you”, which Vesa without hesitation answered: “I used to be a singer when I was very young, performing songs for children and also participating in various children’s music festivals.”
