Time to unveil a financial genius in our midst! 🌟 Prepare to witness the brilliance behind the scenes as we introduce you to Ritva, our extraordinary Head of Finance. Take a moment to relax, and let's delve into Ritva’s journey!
Hey there! I'm here to share my journey and spill the beans on why my job brings me so much joy. Seriously, the people I work with are absolute rockstars! It's like being part of a secret society of super talented and enthusiastic individuals. We're united by a common goal, fueled by ambition, and lots of coffee!
Working at DOT
You're probably wondering what inspired me to join this amazing team. It was all about the company's core values and their commitment to creating a creative and inclusive work environment. From day one, I felt a deep resonance with their vision. They encourage us to think outside the box, push boundaries, and explore new horizons. And let's not forget the flexible ways of working and the safe space they provide. It's a game-changer for juggling work and personal life.
Excel sheets are my jam! I love crunching numbers, diving into the details, and finding the stories hidden behind the data. Being a visual person, I can't resist adding a personal touch whenever possible. Also being the link that connects people and facilitates smooth operations is where I thrive!
I hold a BBA degree and a Controller’s special education degree. But let me tell you, learning never stops. Over the years, I've taken courses in various fields, from languages to different platforms. I believe in the power of continuous learning and expanding my horizons.
Clocking out
My passions don't stop at work. I'm all about getting crafty and DIY projects. Whether it's crafting intricate greeting cards, painting canvases, or even getting my hands dirty with macrame, drilling, sawing, and gluing, I find solace and creative expression in these activities. It's like therapy for the mind and soul.Whenever I'm feeling under the weather, you'll find me cozied up, watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It's been my go-to since it came out way back when. It's like a comforting tradition that never gets old.
After work let's dive into the perfect weekend. Picture this: I'm getting a solid 10 hours of glorious sleep every night, and I still have a whopping 20 hours of wakefulness. Talk about balance! I'd start my weekend with a leisurely stroll along a sun-kissed beach, drink in my hand, soaking in the serenity of the ocean. Snorkeling and swimming would be on the agenda, accompanied by an endless supply of snacks and food magically appearing whenever I need a boost. As the day progresses, I'd amp up the excitement with some outdoor adventures like rock climbing or zip-lining. And you know what's the icing on the cake? Sharing all these incredible moments with my loved ones, ending the day with delicious food, soulful music, and a whole lot of memories.
If I could have a superpower, I'd choose the ability to manipulate time. Imagine being able to pause time, savor special moments, extend weekends or travels, and even catch up on my never-ending movie watchlist. It would be like having a magical pause button for life's hectic yet amazing moments, without the rest of the world moving forward.
Reminder of the day
Looking back at this year, I've had some major highlights, but the best thing by far has been returning to work after a parental leave. It's been a whirlwind of personal growth and exciting new experiences. I'm surrounded by inspiring people and a fresh environment that keeps me motivated and engaged. It's a reminder that embracing change and grabbing opportunities can lead to incredible outcomes. If I had to sum up how my best friend sees me in three words, they'd say I'm considerate, observant, and trustworthy. Their opinion means the world to me, and I strive to live up to those qualities every day.
For anyone starting a new job, here's my advice: Embrace the unknown with an open mind and a good sense of humor. Don't be afraid to ask questions or show your true self. Share your unique perspectives and knowledge whenever you get the chance. And always remember, laughter is the secret ingredient that binds teams together and creates an awesome work environment.
So, there you have it! That's a glimpse into my world—where passion meets opportunity, and work and life intertwine in the most satisfying way. Here's to embracing the unknown, chasing dreams, and living life to the fullest! Cheers!
