Miriam Melischek

I am 33 years old and live in Vienna, Austria. I’ve worked at IKEA since 2002—today in the Customer Relations department in the Service Office in Austria. I have a passion for sharing. I volunteered occasionally, helping refugees on their journey through Austria, in Vienna (Hauptbahnhof), Traiskirchen and in Spielfeld. I learned that every story is unique and has power in itself. I have an open heart and open eyes for people who have had to flee. I want to witness, spread and talk about how IKEA Austria has contributed and how the IKEA Foundation is supporting the projects in Jordan. I am very excited about the IWitness trip and I will do my best in turning my experience into words and telling them to my colleagues.
