Career focus

As a tech optimist, I am very enthusiastic about the opportunities that the digital age holds for us. While almost every sector is undergoing transformative changes, I find myself particularly captivated by the evolution of media and communication. My reasons are twofold. The first is the ever increasing global connectivity, which, despite its challenges, broadens our understanding of diverse worldviews. The second is the ever increasing availability of information and education, which fosters our personal development and improves societal wellbeing. For these reasons, I am confident that digital communications will be a meaningful and enjoyable career path for me.
