I am a happy individual who has gone beyond the call of duty in delivering exceptional service and help. I have been trained as a product expert in the relevant software/platforms in order to train and educate our internal & external stakeholders to cultivate customer success and satisfaction. I am a people person and I always give 101% effort in anything I set my mind to do or achieve. Fall down 7 times, get up 8 (七転び八起き) - Naoki Higashida

Growing up, I always had a passion for education and human behaviour, which led me to study early education and psychology. However, as I progressed in my studies and gained more experience in the field, I realized that I wanted to explore a different path - marketing. I was drawn to the creativity, strategy, and innovation in building successful brands and campaigns. Despite the pivot in my career, my early education and psychology background has given me a unique perspective on approaching marketing challenges and understanding consumer behaviour. I am excited to continue learning and growing in this field and contribute my diverse skill set to make a meaningful impact in the industry.
