 Zuzana Nullova https://quintadossohnos.wixsite.com/mysite Email-òo Profile Description: I was born in The Czech Republic in 1979. There, I had various jobs working as PC administrator or project manager. In 2002 I and my partner established graphic design company NN Studio which we had for almost 2 years. In 2004, I have moved to the United Kingdom where I work and studied continuously. There were numerous learning opportunities for me and it definitely gave me some challenges, but it mainly helped me to develop myself as a person from many different sides. Finally, I have qualified as Operating Theatre Practitioner in 2014 and I have been practicing this role since. However, I have quite recently decided to change my life, live more simply and more ecologically, closer to the nature and be the master of my own time. So I moved to Portugal, bought little farm and I am now looking for the opportunity to work from home. .
