Her academic journey has allowed her to explore the intersection between culture, language, and commerce, giving her a well-rounded perspective on how businesses operate in a global context. Through her studies, she has developed a strong interest in marketing, strategy, and business operations, and is excited to apply these interests in a real-world setting.
