Level Up: How the fear of failure is driving this product marketer

If your career journey were a movie, what would the title be and why?

I’d describe my career journey as Crossroads. 

It’s been diverse and full of growth. I’ve worked across different paths, starting with journalism, then moving into social media marketing, event marketing, growth marketing, and now product marketing across various sectors. Each step has been unique, with its own challenges and learning opportunities, but they’ve all contributed to where I am today.

I started my career in media at The Guardian after graduating from Uniben in 2017. I walked into their office, offered to volunteer, and ended up working there unofficially for six months, writing stories without pay. Eventually, the editor-in-chief noticed my efforts and arranged a small stipend.
