About:

Passionate about empowering others, I’ve spent the last 14 years working in NGOs as a project manager and trainer. I specialize in designing and facilitating transformative learning experiences. Fascinated by interpersonal relationships and self-development, I thrive on helping people navigate their emotions and grow. As a volunteer coordinator, I planned comprehensive learning processes. Currently, I’m a project manager at a think tank and vice president at the Step Forward Foundation.

Aleksandra Szmurlik-Dominguez has 3 references for past work as a trainer.
