PURCHASER/ACCOUNTANT, BOARD MEMBER GIRLS ON ICE SWITZERLAND

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Professional experience in Logistics, Finance & Accounting and Purchasing. Worked in different countries, within international enterprises. First in my family that actually studied (extra-occupational) and achieved an Executive MBA degree (HSG).

Like to work with numbers and in projects together with international teams to improve workflows and results. Originally, I wanted to work with animals or within biology, but finally I started my apprenticeship at the same job my mother had, as I could not imagine any other option back then.  

As a child I used to practise cross country skiing with intense exercises. Back then I started to develop my appreciation for the mountains and forest. Ever since I spend as much time as possible outside in nature: either hiking, mountain biking or kayaking. At the same time doing my utmost to preserve nature by reducing my footprint.

From my experience and observation, I sense that young women still lack the imagination/courage to proceed their own way. This program offers to discover science, allowing girls to leave traditional role models and encourages them to follow their individual interest. Very glad to contribute to the teams that are setting up these inspiring programs.
