During my professional journey, I have gained valuable experience in various roles that highlight my strong commitment to sustainability, diversity, and effective communication. As a Junior Consultant at Vesuvius in the Netherlands, I actively contributed to sustainability and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) projects. This included advising on gender equality initiatives and developing a monitoring and evaluation framework to measure impact. At SDG House, I conducted comprehensive research and analysis, aligning company goals with sustainability objectives and working collaboratively to implement eco-friendly practices. As part of the External Affairs team at OLIVER Agency in Jakarta, Indonesia, I managed client relationships, oversaw project delivery, and devised successful advertising campaigns. Additionally, in my role as a Regional Communications Officer for FOREO Sweden, I achieved impressive results through strategic SEM efforts and led product launch campaigns in multiple Southeast Asian countries. Furthermore, as a Project Management Intern at Campaign.com, I collaborated with NGOs on sustainability-related events, managed social media content, and conducted educational workshops. Lastly, my experience as a Quantitative Research Assistant at Brawijaya University involved data analysis and preparation for financial inclusion reporting. These experiences have equipped me with a diverse skill set and a passion for sustainability, making me a valuable asset to any team.
