Outside of my academic coursework, I'm passionate about photography and videography, particularly within the wedding and event space. I run a photography-focused Instagram page where I share my work and engage with my audience. Additionally, I have a mini gardening website where I explore content creation and digital marketing strategies.
Outside of my academic and professional interests, I enjoy yoga, fitness, and outdoor activities like hiking and skiing. Fun fact: I am a huge Hamilton Fan and will be seeing the show on Broadway in June!

I am an international student from Indonesia. I love to go to new places like downtown Kalamazoo, and so far I found 3 hidden gems that have been my favorite places to hang out with friends, and they are the LFG Gaming bar, One Well Brewing, and Texas Corral Salon and Restaurant.
I currently have no activities other than doing a Student Professional Readiness Series (SPuRS), which consists of some 4-level activities like workshops that are done in person. That requires business students to finish the first two levels.
Other than that, I have an e-commerce store that I want to focus on since that is what I am interested in, and right now I am still struggling with my content creation and etc to drive sales, which is why I hope to find a mentor who can teach me to set up my e-commerce store.

Other Things About Me
I also used to be a volunteer/member of an organisation called "Leadership involvement Team" in the valley when I lived there for my first 2 years at WMU. My job was creating flyers to let the residents of the valley know about the once-per-week events we held and producing ideas of what type of event would be fun to do throughout the year. and was able to increase the number of attendees from less than 10 students to more than 20 students at each event.
I have a certification in Google Analytics for completing the quizzes and the video study and finished the Quiz with 98% accuracy.
