As a city girl, I grew up surrounded by the hustle of urban life, but my heart was always drawn to nature. This led me to pursue a master’s degree in Environmental Technology, where I developed a deeper understanding of how nature and technology can work together, hoping to contribute in a meaningful way.
But life is not linear, and my journey took me through a variety of fields, each offering valuable lessons. From working in the service industry to being a chemist in a laboratory and an office worker, I’ve always approached each role with passion and commitment.
Eventually, life took me further from the city. With a growing desire to live closer to nature and to create a more peaceful environment for my future family, I embraced the opportunity to move to the countryside. I’ve always loved numbers and solving puzzles, which sparked my interest in the IT field.
Driven by my curiosity, I enrolled in a training program to gain expertise in the IT world. This opened the door for an internship, where I applied what I had learned and gained valuable hands-on experience. After my internship, I was excited to secure a new job at Sparkle, where I’ve truly found my place. Working at Sparkle has been a rewarding experience. The team here is collaborative, supportive, and shares values that matter to me: kindness, fun, and passion. This alignment makes my workday enjoyable and fulfilling. I love what I do, and I hope my contributions help drive the company forward.
Looking back, I’m proud of the journey I’ve been on. From city life to the countryside, and from various roles to IT, I’ve found a career that not only reflects my values but also allows me to grow. I’m excited for what the future holds and happy to be part of such a positive and dynamic team.
