Your journey as a woman in the cleaning industry

I started my career as a hospitality specialist in my native country, Germany, and then traveled and worked abroad, holding various positions until I reached where I am today. It has been a fulfilling journey, and I have learned a lot about the industry along the way.

Gender related challenges in your career

Being in the cleaning industry for more than 27 years in the Middle East, I have noticed that the industry is still male-dominated. However, I believe that with a professional and committed approach, challenges can be overcome, regardless of gender.

Advice to young women who aspire to pursue a career in the cleaning industry

I would advise young women to focus on their goals and aspirations and not let themselves be limited by gender. The cleaning industry is a rewarding and dynamic field that offers a range of opportunities. Be passionate and with the right attitude you will get where you want to be.
