How do your degree and international experience help you be an effective Client Success Specialist?
I leverage my degree in Anthropology and international background in my current role by applying my deep understanding of cultural dynamics and cross-cultural communication. This education equips me to navigate diverse perspectives effectively, fostering better relationships and collaboration with people from various backgrounds.
What are some current projects you are working on?
Currently, I'm focused on arranging the arrival support for our teachers this month. My tasks include coordinating logistics to ensure their safe arrival and preparing everything they need for a smooth transition. This involves managing accommodations, transportation, and necessary resources to ensure a seamless onboarding experience.
What advice would you give your pre-travel self?
I’d tell my pre-travel self to embrace every moment with an open mind and heart. Be curious and stay adaptable, as flexibility will lead to the most rewarding experiences. Remember that every challenge is an opportunity for growth and learning. Savor each experience, both the highs and the lows, and build connections with the people you meet along the way—they’ll enrich your journey in ways you can't foresee. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, as it's often outside those boundaries that you discover the most about yourself and the world.
