About

I am a Management and Marketing Major from Indonesia in Indiana University. I am a risk-taker and highly adaptive individual who believes that opportunity for growth is one of the most important aspects in a career. As someone who flew across the world to study at a U.S institution, fear and anxiety struck me before departing from Indonesia. However, those fears were gone when I pledged for the Fraternity I'm currently in: Beta Upsilon Chi. At first, I was intimidated to come to their rush events and get to know new people. However, I realized I have nothing to lose and I came to their first rush event, which I'm glad I did now. Beta Upsilon Chi has played a huge part in my semester by helping me to adapt to a new culture and creating a new sense of home. Besides a fraternity, I am also involved in the Bloomington Delta Music Club. As a musician, I need to keep my creative side alive as marketing also requires creativity. I aspire to originate a business one day and my Management and Marketing degree at IU will guide me and help develop the skills I need to do so to excel in my career.
