What is your favorite travel memory?

Once I joined a PD at a school, to get a clear idea of our work. The children really enjoyed the education. We all had lots of fun with the humorous and inspiring form of teaching. I great experience.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

My work is very challenging. I started with work order to care for the Campus and the People. I was told to do a great job and could expand my work order to Accountant, Information and Help desk for everybody, especially with legal issues.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

They all enjoy the time working here. It's challenging and a great experience. They're confident that they'll be able to teach anywhere at the world, because of the enormous amount of teaching hours. They wanted to teach and at ABCi they've the chance to do so.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would love to teach the way they teach at ABCi. My children told me, they would enjoy always to be taught this way. I would enjoy to increase English knowledge at Austria.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

We've a very familiar system. All colleagues help together. Somebody isn't available. No Problem. Another colleague is here and helps you.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

A good idea and a wonderful colleagues like mine.
