Ik ben vanaf 1 maart 2016 werkzaam bij Nestlé en mijn functie is Paralegal. Het internationale heeft mij altijd getrokken, privé en op werk. Ik vind het ook fijn om voor een bedrijf te werken dat niet alleen oog heeft voor de problematiek in de wereld maar daar ook echt mee aan de slag gaat.

De open werksfeer binnen Nestlé draagt bij aan mijn groei, ik heb alle vrijheid om mijzelf continue te ontwikkelen en buiten mijn comfortzone te treden. Daarnaast zorgt het ‘wij’ gevoel dat Nestlé kent dat ik mij vrij voel om hulp te vragen bij collega’s, om zo samen te leren en groeien.
