“I am glad that I managed to overcome prejudices and that I exceeded the expectations of people from my surrounding. Everyone expected that I would marry very young. I do not want that for me, because I plan to have my own beauty salon and REF has been helping me realizing the goal of becoming a successful young woman.”
Being one of six siblings, Marina says she is the stubborn and persistent one.
She could not find adequate employment as a horticulture technician. That is why she decided to attend vocational training of medical
cosmetics and aesthetics with the support of REF.
She is now very pleased with finding a way to express her creativity through aesthetics and cosmetics. She adapted one of the rooms in her family house and made it
into a mini-salon where all the clients are happy to come again. She tries to follow trends in the field of medical cosmetics and aesthetics.
Outgoing, determined and satisfied with her successful business, Marina urges young Roma women never to give up their wishes and goals, regardless of the traditional beliefs they grow up surrounded with because it is possible to achieve everything they wish for, with appropriate support.
