How have you grown in your career at Avery Dennison?
I joined Avery Dennison Kreuzlingen in 2020 as an EHS Engineer. Afterwards, in 2021, I was promoted to EHS Manager. During that time and to this day, I have joined many professional and personal seminars. One should never stop learning.
What's the biggest stretch opportunity you've taken on?
Managing and leading people is one of the crucial challenges I have faced in my career. Identifying the strengths of the employees and highlighting them through projects and challenges, but also learning how to deal with the personal problems of those employees.
What role has mentorship played in your career?
Mentorship is very important, especially at the beginning of an individual's career. I was very lucky to have my site manager and the EHS managers supporting me and always giving genuine feedback. Thus, I was able to improve and see the tasks from a different point of view. The Kreuzlingen team served as a mentor in many situations and daily business. Willing, one can learn from everybody. Working in a multicultural team opens the horizon tremendously. Listen to different opinions and advice, but never forget to listen to your heart and mind.
