My Friendship Book Entry
Me in three emojis: 🦀👩💻🍦
In my free time: I enjoy walking my dog Simba, organizing trips with friends or family, baking, and eating.
The coolest internship was: Partner Management at OTTO
I spent my semester abroad in: Singapore
When I was little, I wanted to be a flight attendant or a teacher, today I am an Account Manager.
If I hadn’t studied International Management, I would have traveled even more and done Work & Travel.
How I spent my time after classes: with my partner or friends in the city, with my family in Lower Austria, studying at home, or working in hospitality (I worked 20 hours per week alongside my studies).
The best food on campus: my own packed meals
My favorite spot on campus: the terrace
This is how I celebrated my graduation: with a bachelor trip (which I organized) with 20 colleagues in a villa in Italy
Tell us what your job is, without telling us what your job is: I work closely with clients to understand how their strategic goals can be implemented with our software, increasing customer satisfaction and sales of new products.
About my studies
If my studies were a song, it would be: “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, featuring Ray Dalton. This song is about overcoming obstacles and celebrating successes. Its core message is perseverance, determination, and celebrating achievements with your community. The lyrics encourage listeners to push boundaries and pursue dreams passionately.
What you definitely learn in my study programme: Business thinking & soft skills, especially through many presentations and the exchange semester.
The best course was: Many, but my top three are:
-
International Market Entry Strategies
-
Process Management
-
Tax Law
This course was a challenge for me: Finance
Fun fact from my studies? Useless knowledge? Not entirely useless: “Smoking breaks cost companies millions if not clocked out.”
My advice for you
-
The journey is the goal – try to take as much as possible from your studies!
-
Networking is key – create a LinkedIn profile as soon as possible and definitely do an exchange semester!

About my job
After completing my Bachelor’s degree programme in Management of International Business Processes, I began my career at Accenture in Dublin, where I first encountered Workday. For over five years now, I have been working at Workday, where I advanced through four promotions to my current role. Today, I connect clients’ strategic goals with Workday’s capabilities, coordinate international account teams, and manage contract renewals.
What I value most is the opportunity to work strategically, collaborate with international colleagues and clients, and keep learning in a dynamic environment – with the added benefits of flexibility and international travel. From my studies, I especially carry with me perseverance, professionalism, and critical thinking – skills that continue to support me in my career growth.
