Hey everyone! 🤍 I'm Merey, I'm originally from Kazakhstan, currently based in Sydney doing my Master's in AI/ML. Right now I'm building toward a Product Management role in tech/AI, bridging the technical and strategy sides of things, and that's honestly where I feel most alive. I have some concrete goals of mine and I'd say this is my winter arc (but in Australia we passed winter 2 weeks ago, hehe): land a PM offer, or at least a strong pipeline of interviews, by growing a real LinkedIn presence and starting my visibility on social media. Yesterday I took the Gallup CliftonStrengths test and my #1 strength came back as Ideation which is basically connecting dots between things that don't obviously belong together. People have told me this my whole life without me having a name for it, so it was a fun "oh THAT'S what that is" moment. It ties into why I'm so drawn to the human side of building a career right now too as charisma, networking, the art of conversation, social capital, etiquette, not in a performative way, more like understanding how people actually build trust and connection with each other. I'm really happy to connect with all of you guys, and I'd love to ask you for some social media (especially TikTok and Instagram) growth tips and strategies, perhaps some videos or resources. I'd really appreciate that. Thank you all🫶🏻🛥️🤍!

Hi girlies, as you may or may not know, I'm moving in my career towards Product Management. So these days I'm heads down polishing my CV, LinkedIn, and building out my portfolio. One project I've been working on lately is ShadeMatch: a foundation shade-matching tool. I have a light olive skin tone, so shade matching has always been a real struggle for me personally. I'd love to validate this idea with you guys: have you ever dealt with foundation shade-matching issues? I know olive girlies always struggle with it, but I'm curious how common this is for other skin tones too. Would really appreciate hearing your thoughts! 💕

Hi girls! My name is Kumi and I’m living in Bangkok, Thailand. I am currently doing social media for my family’s private gym business. Since I took this role, the number of new clients have skyrocketed from 3-4 new clients a month (Jan-July) to well over 40 new clients just in August-September alone. I do this by focusing on creating relatable and entertaining content that makes our trainers personable and feature actual clients to create trust. While doing this, I am also building my own personal brand on Instagram. I am still figuring out my groove but still enjoying the trial and error process nonetheless! An outcome I am working towards before December 31 is posting 3-4x a week consistently for more inbounds for paid collaboration opportunities! Something I take pride in doing very well is not so much of an “action” per se, but it is being a good listener and supporter. I am big on connecting with people on a more human-level and offering a space to exchange support, ideas, and just pushing each other towards our individual goals and helping one another grow. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and provide a fresh perspective and so I am all about mutual support and encouragement! One thing people would never assume about me would be that I am a big homebody. I’ve been told I look the opposite, but I am trying very hard to change that and get out more!! :D I love having productive conversations about work and life so I am very open to that here. My instagram is @kumikyn. It’s lovely to meet you all. <3

I had the opportunity to attend an exclusive Wimbledon event before the tournament officially began for the second time. Here are a few photos from the day ✨ One of the biggest highlights for me was seeing Serena Williams in person. She has been such an icon to me for years, so I honestly wasn’t expecting to see her there but I was in the right place at the right moment 🥰 I also had the honor of speaking briefly with Coco Gauff, which made the experience even more special. I also managed to get an autograph from her for my son, which made the moment even more special, especially because he plays tennis himself 🎾 It still feels a little surreal. And of course… this was the outfit I wore for the event 👗✨
