About

I am passionate about being an innovator and fascinated by how the transformation in communication technologies impacts the way individuals create, view, interact with, and distribute information. This passion drives me to pursue a dynamic and fast-paced career in the technology industry, where I aim to advance user interactivity. My goal is to launch new products or services. I bring a unique blend of skills and experiences to the table, drawing from my background in business, accounting, and entrepreneurship. Having worked as a tax consultant for three years and founded a non-profit sports organization, I've developed a multifaceted perspective. My experience in the non-profit sector has highlighted how my talents extend beyond technical and practical achievements to create meaningful change. I believe these diverse experiences equip me to contribute valuable insights and innovative approaches to the iii, enhancing our collective ability to drive impactful outcomes and address challenges effectively.

Why MIIPS?

I was drawn to the MIIPS advanced study by the term “career pivot” in its program description. My professional journey began with an undergraduate degree in accountancy and three years as a tax consultant. I discovered that even in the accounting industry, where I assumed that most challenges demanded black and white solutions, there are always areas of innovation needed to enhance products or services. This realization inspired me to transition into the product and technology industries. I aspire to pursue a new path that aligns with both my background in business and my interests in design, computation, and product and brand development.

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

Because I hope to join a dynamic and fast-paced environment in the technology industry, I seek a career path that would place me at the center of advancing user interactivity. I aim to become a product manager or product design manager of digital platforms or cloud-based systems such as mobile applications, eCommerce, or cloud-based applications. I look forward to researching user needs, and translating these insights into ideas that can transform into concrete product features or a brand-new product or service. Ultimately, I envision launching a small project, new product, or service, as I highly value the entire process of ideation, design, development, and execution from the ground up.
