What are you doing this summer? This summer I'm working as a marketing intern at Teamlink, a proptech real estate company located in Sydney, Australia. My role involves optimizing customer journey maps, analyzing user data for email automations, and supporting the team with various projects such as managing social media and reaching out to CGI companies for collaborations. This experience has provided valuable insights into the real estate tech industry and helped me develop practical skills in marketing and project management.
 
What has been the most memorable part of your experience? The most memorable part of my experience so far has been working on the process map for Teamlink's platform, which gave me a deep understanding of how the company operates and how technology can streamline real estate transactions. Through working with our diverse and experienced team, I also realized that it is not only important to see what's in the process, but also crucial to find out what's currently not and how we can include it to improve the user experience.
One thing you have learned during this summer experience?  One key thing I've learned during this summer experience is the importance of managing expectations and being adaptable. Unlike school projects where every effort directly contributes to a final grade, the results I've created at work may be subject to change as priorities shift. Having the right expectations is crucial, as it helps me stay flexible and prepared to pivot when necessary, ensuring that I contribute effectively to the team's goals.
