Hej friends! 🙂 My name is Mayra Nelson (she/her), and I am an Info & Smaland Leader at IKEA Draper. Taking up space is important to me because it's a lesson I'm learning in my journey to self-love. My voice helps me build more confidence and step into a life that resonates with my authentic self. I hope to encourage others whose voice is not often heard, or their presence noticed, to step out and share their light because we are worthy of love and space. 💛

    Interview

    Was given a quite unrealistic assignment and the interviewer didn't see my cv in advance and it's very obvious. Not a good experience in general. I don't want to say more, for privacy protection. But you can see my attitude.
