Making an entire career through dedication and self-improvement

My story with LEONI began back in 2005, when I left my 10-month-old daughter at home and came here at the age of 20. It had been my dream to work at this factory that seemed modern, fashionable and cool.

When I first came to LEONI, I was not disappointed: I liked everything – from the lighting, our modern equipment, the discipline, the free transportation as well as the general working conditions.

My first years at LEONI were the time when I built both my character as well as many relationships with wonderful people, who supported and helped me in everything. It was a pleasant, warm, friendly atmosphere and LEONI quickly became like my second family.

Young, ambitious and inquisitive as I was, I felt after a few years that I wanted to learn something more – and I knew inside that I had the potential to excel.

After getting familiar with various internal vacancies, I realized that in order to achieve something bigger within LEONI, I would need to work on myself and develop. This inspired me to enter university as a remote student and additionally study Computer Sciences as well as the German language. I have always believed that if you set a goal for yourself and put in constant work on yourself you can succeed at anything.

Today I can say that my efforts were rewarded: With this new qualification, I got the chance to work in the prototype department and after 1.5 years of working there, I was interviewed in the quality management department, where I am happy to contribute to this day as Specialist Operations Quality Auditor.

Today I can confidently say that if I could go back in time, I would choose LEONI again. Working here gave me a great base, the desire to work and develop, it took away my self-doubt and much more.

I always loved and still love it when new projects are introduced and there is an opportunity to improve something – which feels like putting a part of myself into the project.

On my path, I owe a lot to my family, but also to the colossal support of my managers, who always appreciated the hard work and supported me in everything.
