she enrolled in the School of Architecture in Sarajevo. During the first three years of college, she receivedrecognition for several of her projects.

With developing countries now a fundamental part of the global economy, the world has never been socompetitive. The skills one needs to survive and thrive in this environment are thus very highly valued -however, these are not skills one can simply buy. A degree in architecture is about refining your mind

more than anything else. One must learn the iterative process, how to draw technically, and theengineering know-how to support your designs. In 2012, Mia-Martina arrived in Zagreb, where she ispreparing for her final exam to enter graduate school for architecture. With a Masters in Architecture, Mia-Martina hopes to have a positive impact by creating distinct and transformative spaces that increaselivability and work towards environmental, economic, and social sustainability.
