What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters community engagement and collaboration, with opportunities for professional growth and innovation.

I am a community manager with over five years of experience in growing and engaging diverse expert communities across edtech, AI talent networks, and startup ecosystems. My proven success in designing scalable onboarding and engagement programs has fostered professional partnerships and delivered high-retention community strategies. I excel in cross-cultural communication and remote collaboration, impacting globally distributed teams.

In my recent role at SharpestMinds, I led engagement for a community of over 1,200 data science and AI expert mentors and mentees. I orchestrated events and webinars that enhanced collaboration and knowledge exchange. My initiatives improved mentorship matching and user experience, significantly influencing platform retention. Previously, as a Community Operations Manager at GreatLearning, I streamlined operational workflows, enhancing productivity and reducing response times for academic queries.

As the founder of SPACEPLEXX, I built a vibrant entrepreneurial community of over 300 members, hosting events that generated significant engagement and partnerships. My commitment to creating a sense of belonging and collaboration has driven my success in community management, and I am eager to bring this expertise to new challenges.
