Please tell us about yourself.

Hi, my name is Miloš. I’m from Serbia. I graduated from the University of Tuzla in Bosnia. I live and work in Spain for the past five years.In my leisure time, I like to work out and maintain my fitness level. I enjoy cooking, so my day won’t end without eating my favourite dish.

What drew you to the programme you are studying at UniAthena? Do you think it would help you realise your career goals?

I’m fascinated by data. Data is incredibly powerful and can be used in many ways to transform our lives; this is what drew me to this program. I want to leverage the knowledge that I will gain from this programme to solve real-life problems.

What would you like to learn next?

I’m really interested in machine learning. Predicting future outcomes sounds awesome, and I can't wait to learn more about it.

What are your next career steps?

While studying, I would like to pursue an internship as a way to build on what I have learned so far. After I graduate, I will pursue a job in data science.

How has your academic journey prepared you for your career?

I’ve already studied computer science, so I'm familiar with mathematics, programming, databases, and data analytics.

Tell us about a time you planned and accomplished a challenging goal.

While I was studying in Bosnia, I had to work at the same time. My goal was to have good grades even though I didn’t have a lot of time for studying. After four years and countless sleepless nights, I accomplished my goal.

Considering all the people you've met in your field, what personal attributes do you believe are essential for success?

Personal attributes that are essential for success are confidence, a strong will, ambition, creativity, and patience.

Describe a time you stepped outside your comfort zone and demonstrated leadership skills.

When my uncle passed away this year, I had to step in and keep the company on its feet. My auntie doesn’t know anything about work, so I’m the one who needs to make key decisions and guide others.

Which book would you recommend as a must-read for everyone, and why?

I would recommend the Silva mind control method. It helped me be better at problem-solving and intuition.

What is your dream job, and why?

My dream job is to run a company one day, which I eventually will. I want to gain more skills and experience before I open my own company.

Do you have any message for professionals just starting out in their careers?

My message for professionals just starting out is to be strong, confident, and ambitious because everything can be accomplished.
