Past Experiences

• Describe your past experience (entrepreneurship, or works in start ups, etc)

This Summer I was fortunate to intern in DotsyMedia, a startup company that handles reservations and appointments from the beauty & wellness industry. Not only was I involve in the management of the development/testing & debugging aspect of it, being involve in the product and business development broadened my view on how a start up works and operates from idea conception to taking action. Take for example, the ideas generated from our discussions regarding content generation and SEO were realized as we work with overseas development teams in producing the modules/solutions in order for growth of the company.
