I am Imola Málek, I graduated from Corvinus University of Budapest with a Master's degree in Business Development. I have a Master's degree in Economics and I am interested in all areas of economics.
This profession has been in my life since I was 14 years old and I have been involved in all of its fields during my studies, research or work. I think that this profession is necessary for every single aspect of life, to have a complex understanding of the economic processes of a country and their impact on our lives.
Besides being an economist, I have a social sensitivity and I want to use my knowledge for a good cause, so I have been in contact and worked with many NGOs over the last 10 years. These have been really defining points in my life and as a result I wrote my bachelor thesis on NGOs and financial management of people living in poverty.
I feel that I can only fulfil my potential in my work if it have social responsibility in it, so I am currently setting up my own NGO, which focuses on helping people living in poverty, protecting human rights and responding to social problems as they arise. I believe that with the creation of this NGO I will become more than an economist and this is one of the stages in my life where I have embarked on a journey of self-realisation. I am a proud woman, I am proud of what I have achieved so far and no one can stop me from achieving great things in life.
