What did you do before craftworks?

I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 7 years. I was unhappy with the conditions so I switched to a contact lens institute. I did learn a lot there but after a year I realized that I didn't have any opportunities to grow anymore. As I knew the CEO already I had a connection to craftworks.

What do you do at craftworks, and in what circumstances would I come to you for something?

I work as an operations assistant which means I do administrative and organizational support for the management and Head of Operations. I also take care of the internal quarterly newsletter. You can come to me whenever there is an administrative or organizational topic.

How do you prefer to start your day?

I really love to be one of the first ones at the office. Everything is quiet at first and i can observe how everything comes to life. 

Could you describe craftworks in 3 words? 

Warm, welcoming and open-minded.

What difference do you notice compared to your previous employment?

craftworks is the biggest company I worked at so far. The team spirit is amazing and you can really feel that everybody cares for each other. That´s why it still feels intimate to work here. Another big difference is that I can finally do home office work, which I'm so grateful for. 

Could you tell us more about yourself? For example: what are your hobbies and where do you like to spend your time most?

I love to spend my time in nature. If I had to pick one place it would be Lobau. I really enjoy to do sport activities there where as cycling, running, volleyball and so many more.

What’s one thing you’re learning now, and why is it important to you?
