What are you currently building or working on within the Web3 space?
‍

Together with our team, I’m currently focused on developing and expanding Thrilld Labs' product offering. Our current goal is to improve both user and business experiences by offering personalized events management and networking experiences. Every day we’re putting in much energy to provide event organizers, sponsors, and attendees with the right tools to network and contribute for the future of the Web3 industry.

What are your ambitions for 2025? How do you see yourself making an impact?        
                   

In 2025, I aim to share my experiences as a product manager on YouTube and invite more inspiring guests to my podcast  - Femmes Finance Podcast. My goal is to share my learnings, help others in their growth, and foster a community where knowledge-sharing is at the forefront. Through these efforts, I hope to make an impact by offering real-world advice and creating connections that drive positive change in the world.

‍

What’s the most valuable business tip you’ve learned, and how has it impacted your growth?
‍

The most valuable business tip I've learned comes from Naval Ravikant: the problem of the 21st century is not a lack of resources, but a lack of motivation or discipline to act. This idea has had a significant impact on my growth, as it reminds me that with abundance of resources around us, the key to success is staying disciplined and motivated to take action consistently. This mindset has helped me maintain focus and drive in achieving my goals.

‍

‍

Tell us what advice you would give to women starting out in Web3. How can they make an impact on the industry?
‍

My advice to young women starting out in Web3 is: don’t be afraid to set ambitious goals. By committing to continuous learning and putting in the hard work, you’ll open doors to countless opportunities. Your efforts will surely be recognized, and your success will inspire others. So, stay focused on growing, evolving, and trusting in your potential.
