I’m currently working in the IT industry but majored in education. I’m interested in combining my current job skills, business & strategy, and my study area to connect with people in the edtech industry, or who are in the children’s media field.
I’m into seeing musicals so if there are people who have same interests as me, I’d love to connect with them.
