All these experiences made me believe in myself and believe in the importance of my work and now I even dare to fail. The only thing that really matters is that I have tried and that I could learn, and I hope with this I can influence others as well to take their chances.
Besides being part of an encouraging and supportive culture, I more and more recognized the need of having meaningful work, which can further support the company's purpose. Working in Finance and Accounting was a great first step, but I really managed to fulfil this need by joining Audit and Compliance in an area called Roche Services Solutions EMEA. Here we have to be always ready to protect the company’s assets, ensure the business continuity, and actively shape the picture we want our patients and investors to see when looking at Roche.
Regardless of my position or area of work I always strive to give back somehow to the company, which gave me so many opportunities, great friendships, mentors, and raised me to become who I am today.
