Brand Marketing Manager for YouTube at Google Something that was ingrained in me from an early age through my amazing experience at MHSG was how important it is to appreciate diverse cultures. Since then, throughout university and the early stages of my career, I’ve constantly sought out opportunities to advocate for minority groups and drive equality in the technology industry space. I think that it’s fantastic that studying at an all-girls’ school allowed me to truly believe that I can reach for any dream that I may have, despite my gender. These experiences led me to my role at Google, where I amplify the voices of underrepresented creators, celebrate them within the YouTube space and support them as they move towards a more optimistic future filled with endless possibilities. My vision for YouTube goes beyond this. I’m aware that there are gaps that are causing challenges within these communities. I hope to close these gaps through my work within the marketing and tech space. AUTUMN 2021 | independentschoolparent.com
