My Story in a Nutshell

I went to Perth to challenge myself in a new environment, and I keep this challenger mindset with me wherever I go. It’s what attracted me to pursuing a career in digital, and the sense of achievement from producing results for my clients keeps me going.

I’m an Indonesian Fellow in Perth

Born in 2000 in Lombok, I flew over to Perth in 2018 after high school to “merantau” (loosely translated as leaving home to earn a living) and challenge myself to see if I can study and thrive in a completely foreign environment.

I Graduated Right After COVID

In late 2021 I graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor’s in Marketing and Tourism. Before that, I picked up a few certifications in digital marketing to teach myself some practical skills while stuck at home during lockdown.

I Found Work Agency-Side

Not long after I graduated I interned agency-side and learned the basics of SEO, which then gave way to working at a junior SEO role in Digital Hitmen. I’ve been there officially since 2022 and am still there doing SEO to this day.

Nerd By Day And After Hours

I was a hardcore MOBA gamer that grinded rank non-stop, but now I’ve “reformed” (still gave me a lingering competitive spirit though). Besides that, my hobbies off-work are reading comics and novels, and watching movies and K-drama.
