Hi! My name is Míša and I’m from the Czech Republic. I grew up in Eastern Bohemia and moved to Brno for my studies at the University. I have tried many different jobs like administrative assistant in a law and insolvency office, real estate agent or cafe manager. I don't like stereotypes, so I really enjoy the varied work, which I found here at ISB.
