What is your position at TapMango? How has it evolved since you started?
I am currently a team lead for the sales team. I started as a sales account executive 2.5 years ago and since being promoted to team lead, I am taking on more management responsibilities and QAing the sales team. I am super excited for this opportunity and excited to see where it leads.
What are some aspects of your role that you really enjoy?
I love that every day is a different challenge and how it keeps me on my toes. Also the fact that I get to work with such wonderful people everyday, the most rewarding part is seeing the team grow and improve.
Describe your WFH desk situation?
I recently bought my own place and currently my wfh desk situation is on my dining table. But because I live alone, my whole condo is basically my work office.
What do you do in your spare time? Learn any new skills during quarantine?
In my spare time I spend a lot of my time with my new puppy! He is only 3 months old so he is a handful. But I like to end my day off with a good show to relax.
What is something your work colleagues don’t know about you?
Despite being in sales, where I talk to strangers and the team every day, I am a super introverted person. Takes me a while to open up to new people. Probably just because I am OLD.
What is one piece of advice you would tell 8 year old you? (on career pursuit, life, laughter and love)
Don’t be afraid to fail. Great lessons and opportunities will come with it!
Top 3 binge worthy shows, book series, or movies? (and why?)
Not sure if binge worthy or not but I’ve watched Friends and How I Met Your Mother about 5 times each. Can’t go wrong with the classics but for a newer show I would say Lupin! And you’re just going to have to watch it to find out why it’s so great but I can promise you won’t be disappointed!
