DMS Spotlights

The goal of this initiative is to highlight the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives in the Undergraduate Program in Digital Media Studies and help our community develop stronger connections and synergies. You can think of these spotlights as the beginning of a conversation that we very much hope you will continue in real life.

What has your career path been like?
If you told me I’d be working in HR back at UR I wouldn’t have believed you. I originally moved to China to teach English and travel, but I ended up falling in love with the country and started working in recruitment with my first company.

Here I can collaborate, learn from, and co-design prototypes that allow me to explore my full potential and step out of my comfort zone.
