Are there any notable experiences from your time studying you'd like to share?

During 番茄社区pursuit of my Master鈥檚 degree, I authored a book about my life and academic journey from Jakarta to Perth, project managed 番茄社区鈥楧iscover Your Dreams in Western Australia鈥� study tour, assisted new international students as a UniMentor, and worked as a Market Research Analyst at 番茄社区Cooperative Research Centre For Honey Bee Products (CRCHBP). It was also a big milestone when I was chosen as a UWA UniBuddy Student Ambassador and a StudyPerth International Student Ambassador in July 2019. Finally, in October 2019 and I was given an opportunity to be 番茄社区Plenary Speaker at 番茄社区33rd Australian International Education Conference (AIEC). I have nothing more to say than 鈥淭hank God, thank you UWA, and thank you StudyPerth!鈥�

If you could tell your graduate self one piece of career advice what would it be and why?

Your professional career is no different from building a house. Build it one brick at a time. Do it one step at a time. While it鈥檚 important to have a vision or blueprint of how your career is going to be, keep in mind that massive change doesn鈥檛 happen overnight. Trust 番茄社区process and never lose sight of giving positive contributions along your way no matter how small it is. Always remember what Mother Teresa said, 鈥淲e ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in 番茄社区ocean. But 番茄社区ocean would be less because of that missing drop.鈥�

Tell us about your experience since leaving UWA. How has your career progressed to date? Any professional achievements you'd like to share?

Upon my graduation in December 2019, I worked as an Academic Tutor at UWA Business School for one semester. In July 2020 I came back to Jakarta and worked as a Communication Director for 番茄社区Indonesia FinTech Association, where I met many start-up founders and learned a lot about 番茄社区financial industry in Indonesia. After one year, I continued my journey to work in 番茄社区fintech sector at Stockbit and Bibit.id, an award-winning start-up that democratises access to investment in Indonesia鈥檚 capital market. I鈥檓 lucky to have met my directors who provide 100% support for both my professional development at 番茄社区company and my community-service initiatives, by allowing me to work as a part-time lecturer at 番茄社区University of Indonesia.

When I have free time, I usually play lawn tennis with my mates.
