What is the most interesting thing you’re working on at the moment?

I’m currently on maternity leave, taking care of my two children — so raising them is my most exciting project right now! 

What is your favourite part of your role at NEWTON?

I really like the personal approach that NEWTON takes towards its students, and the focus on learning through practice and collaboration. It’s also such a friendly environment, and I have lovely colleagues!

What does your research focus on right now?

At the moment, I’m looking at the development of IPOs on the capital market of the Czech Republic. In general, my research focuses on financial markets, microeconomics, and business administration.

Tell us one interesting thing about yourself.

Just one?! I have loads of hobbies, including climbing, skiing and gardening, and usually spend my weekends doing one or other of these things, with my kids whenever possible! I also love animals, and have two cats
