“I would highly recommend the Positive Psychology Internship to anyone looking to gain hands-on experience in positive psychology, performance, and life skills in general. I did the remote internship with Mirna, and I had two big takeaways. The first was getting practice with useful skills like copywriting and editing (although if you are interested in developing other skills, Mirna will certainly work with you on that). The second takeaway was that I got to attend a number of valuable Happiness Academy courses free of charge, which has really helped me align my goals and actions as I prepare to enter the professional world.
You cannot go wrong by choosing to learn from Mirna. She is very positive, warm, and understanding, which removed stress from the internship for me. She is never condescending and takes your opinions very seriously – she will often note down your thoughts to consider. If you are at all considering this internship, do yourself a favor and send Mirna an email!”

“Working with Mirna was an insightful and an amazing experience. She allowed me to customize the internship experience to my preferences and interests. It was a joy to work with Mirna as she is full of new and exciting ideas. She is also very open to hearing my ideas and thoughts about anything I am working on. Through this internship, I got to practice writing in a different style as well as doing a variety of types of work. This allowed me to broaden my knowledge of positive psychology and improve my communication skills. Mirna was very supportive in many different aspects. She gave insightful advice regarding the work, traveling to Croatia, and helping me figure out what I want in my future. The internship helped me work outside of my comfort zone and improve my skills through Mirna’s constructive feedback.”

Asha Meyer, Student at  Indiana University Bloomington, USA

“The collaboration with Mirna was extremely valuable for me. In the 4 months in Zagreb, I learned a lot about how to start a business in the field of workshops and coaching. I got to know the wide range of aspects that are included in running projects like Happiness Academy and Trainers Toolbox. 
Mirna was welcoming, full of positive energy and always curious about my ideas. We shaped our time together in alignment of our interests into a diverse and insightful period which truly enriched and advanced me on my career path. 
I was able to develop my personal working style as well as my delivering and presentation skills and expanded my knowledge of positive psychology.
Thank you, Mirna, for this amazing experience!”

“Working with Mirna was an important experience that contributed to my professional growth. Throughout the internship, I engaged in a variety of tasks, learning new perspectives and approaches to problem-solving.
Mirna consistently provided constructive & positive feedback, which not only enhanced my skills but also supported my continuous improvement.
Before joining the internship, I was aiming to a create clear roadmap for my career with insights from her. Mirna guided me with her expertise which is a valuable take away for me.”

Burcu Sayin, Engineer and Soft Skills Trainer, Turkey

“First and foremost, I loved my internship! Mirna really helped me align the tasks with what I am passionate about and what I wanted to learn, making this internship experience absolutely fulfilling and meaningful for me.
Second, having Mirna as a supervisor was honestly really great! She was always engaged, organized, supportive and so positive! I have learned so much from her and I really admired how she was always curious to hear my thoughts, and encouraged me to express my opinion. I always had a feeling she saw me as a peer and not an intern.
But the thing I liked the most about this internship was the fact that it gave me the space to be my authentic self, a chance to understand myself better and express that without holding back.
And that’s why I’d recommend this opportunity to anyone who is interested in positive psychology and seeing it in practice; but especially if you yourself are positive, engaged, and open to discovering more about psychology and yourself ”

Adrijana Šarić, Psychology Student at Tilburg University in The Netherlands, Croatia

“My internship with Mirna was more than I could wish for! Except from taking the time to figure out what it is that I would like to learn and do during my time with her, she actively helped me throughout every step of the way.
I learned a lot of stuff (from practical and technical skills to scientific tools and theories) and discovered more about myself as a professional and an individual alike.
Mirna makes sure to listen to your needs and worries, while making the learning process fun and engaging.
Additionally, Mirna is simply a wonderful person; her cheerful attitude, open mind and relaxed approach really creates an environment where you feel free to express yourself and can authentically flourish.
I wouldn’t give it a second thought: an internship with Mirna is worth it no matter who you are and what your professional background is.
It was an internship like no other, that truly felt like a beautiful journey into self-discovery, personal and professional development!”
