Summary

A diligent and detail-oriented Master's student with a background in Psychology, currently working as a Sales & Office Coordinator. I have a proven track record in coordinating events, managing communications, and providing administrative support, coupled with a commitment to fostering team collaboration and strong work ethics.


My passion lies in creating positive employee experiences, and I am currently writing my thesis on the role of work breaks in hybrid work conditions, reflecting my interest in mental well-being and stress prevention. With a solid foundation in both practical and academic aspects of workplace psychology, I am eager to bring my skills to support talent development, implement impactful initiatives, and contribute to improving mental well-being on a strategic and operational level.
