Letting my creativity run wild with the Space Dogs

Hello fellow space travelers, I come in peace.

You may wonder: how did I come to be in this incredible work opportunity, surrounded by such fun and inspiring colleagues—aka the Space Dogs? Allow me to take you on a small journey and tell you exactly how it all started…

Come with me on my journey

I had just finished my A-levels and came to the fantastic conclusion that pursuing a degree in economic law would be the ideal choice for my future. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. There I was—sitting in my class about European law, wondering, “What am I even doing here?” From then on, it was clear as day—this just wasn’t the right fit for me. So I knew I needed to hit the reset button. The two things I knew for sure were: 1-I use and enjoy different types of media every single day of my life, and 2-I absolutely love to communicate. Hundreds of Google search results later, and much extensive research later, I landed on the field of media and communication management, which drew me in completely.

That’s where my journey really started.

Do it with passion—or not at all

I have always aspired to be able to say that I love what I study, and that is exactly what I have achieved. I finished my bachelors degree, but didn’t want to stop there. I moved on to my next and current challenge—getting my master's in business administration. My aim is to unite my knowledge of journalism, marketing, advertising and more, with my business knowledge. But enough about my educational background… When I’m not studying for my exams or attending lectures, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and taking long walks through the woods with my dog (Vito’s a cute, little, people-loving Frenchie, who snores like a walrus, and demands at least 200 snuggles a day). Other than that, I love cooking and baking. Sparked during the COVID-19 lockdown, I discovered that passion, as I had more than enough time to perfect my culinary skills.

Crossing paths with the Space Dogs

Now, how did my path lead me to Laika? As fate would have it, I didn’t find Laika, Laika found me. One of my dearest friends, Sophie, started to work at Laika almost 2 years ago and always raved about the amazing crew, the interesting clients, and the general atmosphere. When I told her that I was looking for a new job opportunity in PR, she didn’t hesitate to say: “You would absolutely love it here!” And oh, how right she was. I’m extremely grateful for how the Laika Space Dogs have welcomed me with open arms, and that I get to let my creativity run wild with the cool tasks I get to do—creating a fun space for Laika’s social media. I look forward to exploring more about social media strategies, analytics, and content creation as I continue my adventure through the comms cosmos.

In life, sometimes it's not about finding the perfect path, but about being open to the journey and the opportunities that come along the way. From economic law, to media and communications, to business administration, to being part of Laika—the possibilities are endless, and I can't wait to see where my journey will take me next.
