Every career starts somewhere. Mine started in student unions, libraries, and election commissions — where I learned that leading people who don't have to follow you is the hardest kind of leadership.
Ran the university library for two years. Modernized how students accessed resources, organized reading programmes, and turned a quiet building into something people actually wanted to visit. Turns out, leadership starts with making sure the WiFi works.
Oversaw the student union election process — logistics, candidate vetting, ballot coordination, and making sure 'democracy' wasn't just a word in the handbook. Short tenure, high stakes, zero margin for error.

Social Media Admin
Managed the university's social media presence before most institutions in Myanmar even had one. Content strategy, community management, and explaining to faculty why having an online presence matters — repeatedly.

My first leadership role. Managed communications for the student union — bulletins, notices, and whatever it took to keep students informed. Started here, learned fast, never stopped.
