Riding the social media boom in China
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
My Role & Responsibilities

Building a cross-cultural team
Managed a team of 12 people from 5 different cultures to successfully operate a fast-paced media platform while simultaneously upskilling and professionally developing each member of the team.

Led team meetings around defining our mission, vision, core values and value proposition. I conducted daily stand ups, weekly 1:1’s, monthly alignment meetings and quarterly reviews.

Key Learnings
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
