Meet the team

After enrolling in her final year of General Linguistics studies at the Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade, led by her love of the Italian language, Lola studied economics at the University of Trieste, where she mastered the language and also gained extensive knowledge in the field of finance, making the most of it. Apart from Italian, she speaks English very well. Although still at the beginning of her career, Lola shows a great sense of relations with people and business organization. In Alkemist, she found a way to combine her love of linguistics and economics.
In her free time, she likes to read, as reading takes her to many places around the world – even to Joyce's Dublin.
