Let’s begin by getting to know your role and how you contribute to the team
I’m the HR manager. My job is basically to make sure people feel good here – from the moment they’re recruited to their day-to-day life in the company. Onboarding, HR follow-up, being available when someone needs to talk.
It’s a connector role, and that’s exactly what I like about it.
What are the challenges of being HR manager?
HR is a one-person show here – and the scope is broader than people think. You also have to keep learning constantly because everything evolves.
And beyond the day-to-day, there’s something I find both challenging and exciting: building a real HR culture within a growing company. That takes time, but it’s a meaningful work.
What is the most exciting thing you are working on right now?
We just moved into new offices! It sounds simple but it’s a fresh start in a way.
I’m really enjoying being part of making that transition smooth and positive for everyone.
What do you enjoy the most about your job ?
The people. Because Every interaction is different.
I find it really fulfilling to be useful in a concrete way – whether it’s helping someone settle in, or just being there when things get tough.
What’s your journey so far ?
It’s been a bit of a winding road! I started with a degree in applied foreign languages, focused on scientific and technical translation.
Then I got into public administration for a few years – I’ve always loved the organizational side of things. Last year I completed a diploma in HR management, and honestly it just clicked. It confirmed what I’d been gravitating towards for a while!
Why did you choose to become HR manager ?
I’ve always been a people person. I like listening, creating connections, being helpful. HR felt like the natural place where all of that makes sense.
And I have to say, the trust Sarah & Adrian placed in me by giving me this role really meant a lot. It was a real vote of confidence that pushed me to fully commit.
What inspired you to work in a company specialized in rare diseases ?
The word ‘rare’ says it all, really. These are patients who often go unnoticed, families who wait for years. Being part of a company that contributes to advancing treatments and research for rare disease – that means something.
It gives the work a real purpose.
What are your hobbies and passions ?
Music is a big part of my life – I play piano, sing, and I also compose. It’s my way of expressing myself.
I recently started hip-hop freestyle classes too, which I love. And outside of all that, my one-and-a-half-year-old son keeps me pretty busy!
