Baška Klimek – Java Developer, Co-founder of Impact Hub
Barbara, I looked at your Linkedin profile to find out more about you and your professional life. You have a very impressive resume! How have you managed to do so many fantastic things at such young age?
This is what I call the “Linkedin effect”! It looks great when you put all your life’s achievements together and write them down in one paragraph. However, breaking it down into years, crises, failures, good and bad decisions and doubts you experienced; it all looks less impressive.

Lenka, you are the founder and a CEO of EMOTER (Essential Medical Outreach & Treatment Rescue): Can you tell us about your journey with this amazing initiative?
When I was in the fifth year of my studies at The Third Faculty of Medicine in Prague I wanted to do an internship in a developing country as I felt the experience could teach me a lot. Initially I did not know which country but a student from our school had gone to Uganda and had a very positive experience: She helped me set up an internship there for the summer.
