Viktoriya Mishonova graduated from University of National and World Economy (UNWE) with International Economic Relations with French language, following the trends at that time. As a multi-language speaker (at that time apart from English language, she was fluent in French and Dutch), Viktoriya started working in call centers because they were perfectly combining her average salary expectations and the opportunity to practice foreign language skills. In addition to this, Viktoriya Mishonova gets inspired by travelling and exploring different cultures. She is also interested in yoga philosophy and derivatives. Lastly, Viktoriya loves spicy food and adores animals.

- What are the biggest challenges in what you do?
They say the biggest challenge in life in general is dealing with people’s characters. Well, that’s what we do all day long.

Dealing with everyday customer issues, creating reports, communicating with the rest of the departments, creating schedules. The best part of it is that I’m surrounded by a great team that takes active part in all of the above.
