Launching into the web3 universe just over a year ago, my journey began with earning my first NFT for active contributions to Zo World's Discord server.

Prior to my work with Zo World, I was contracted by Aditi Consulting to handle marketing for their recruiting program in India. In this position, I designed targeted drip email campaigns and crafted social media strategies to raise awareness of their hiring initiatives in the Indian market. This enabled Aditi Consulting to attract high quality candidates for their open positions.
