Internship in marketing in b2b SaaS company, followed by full-time position in marketing, then as sales representative and account management, which led to current role, product manager. As a young curious freshman with non-IT background, I find now these not-so-IT roles crucially shaped my current skills and knowledge, since m&s positions pushed me to go far with understanding people needs and emotions, although they're often neglected in b2b IT industry.

my first role was a Marketing Design Intern for a company in collaboration with a club I was apart of in college. The club held consulting projects every semester and I wanted to add something to my resume so I signed up. It was my first ever internship. It was fun, it was stress, but overall rewarding and gave me insight in a workplace. And we even won Judges' pick at the end of my internship for our business proposals! We launch next week, would love your support! (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...)

Well, my beginning was rather unusual. I dropped out of school to start as a products creator.

I worked for a company that let's you shop in multiple affiliated websites and have it shipped in one box, one package. It was a great concept though the company didn't last long.

During my high school years, I took on a part-time role as a help desk assistant in a busy call center. With little tech experience, I eagerly embraced the challenge. As I assisted callers with their tech queries, I discovered a passion for making technology accessible to everyone. This experience ignited a desire to pursue a career in tech, leading me to study computer science in college. Today, I am a co-founder, carrying the invaluable lessons of empathy and perseverance from my humble beginnings, grateful for the journey that started with a part-time job in a call center. πŸš€πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»
