Brenda Petinati

My name is Brenda de Cássia Silva Petinati, I'm 25 years old and I have a degree in International Relations.  I'm Italian and Brazilian, I've already done 2 exchanges and I love getting to know new cultures, learning from them and being able to evolve as a human being.  I am very good at learning languages, I speak my native language, Portuguese, advanced English and advanced Spanish (I lived in Argentina for 1 year and a half) and I have already started studying Dutch, to be able to provide better service to customers and for them to feel comfortable and confident as if they were at home.  I think that whenever people leave home to go shopping, they expect to be well served and expect to find the item they want, along with excellent treatment, education, empathy and agility.

Knowing that I can be part of this moment and that I can make it unique was what motivated me to study International Relations, I am extremely happy to serve people.  I am passionate about helping people and meeting individual needs, making that moment unique.  I love learning new things and I find it very easy to adapt to new things.

As soon as I started studying International Relations, I knew that I would need to be in contact with the public; so I looked for a position that would put me face to face with people, I joined Calvin Klein Jeans in São Paulo - Brazil, as a Sales Assistant (in 2018), my responsibilities were: serving customers, organizing stock and assisting salespeople, after 1 year ago I received the proposal to become a Salesperson at Adidas, with greater responsibilities, such as: managing the sales team, serving the public and organizing the store; I worked there until July 2023, when my husband received a job offer here in the Netherlands and then we moved to Utrecht.

I am an HBO graduate.
