Growing up, studying hard wasn’t simply about getting good grades. I wanted my family to worry a little less and hopefully feel proud of me one day. Back then, I truly believed banking would become my future.

I didn’t get into my dream major. The only path left was Internet of Things & Artificial Intelligence in 2020. At that time, AI wasn’t part of everyday conversations. People often told me: “You’ll probably switch majors.” “Girls rarely stay in this field.” To be honest, I believed that too.

There were times I questioned whether I belonged here. The subjects felt difficult. The future looked uncertain. I seriously thought about giving up.

Creating content became something I genuinely enjoyed. That curiosity slowly led me into marketing, content production, e-commerce, and creative campaigns. For the first time, learning felt exciting again.

I started posting on TikTok with very little experience. Unexpectedly, my "MatDamGuCha" series resonated with thousands of matcha lovers and quickly became something people looked forward to watching. Instead of chasing numbers full-time, I chose to keep balancing content creation with university—believing that finishing what I started mattered just as much as building an audience.

Instead of seeing AI as just another university subject, I began using it for research, creative ideation, workflow automation, and marketing. Technology stopped feeling separate from creativity. It became part of how I work every day.

I successfully completed all university coursework and defended my graduation thesis. At the moment, I’m only completing my English and IT certification requirements before officially receiving my Bachelor’s degree. This isn’t the end of the story. It’s simply the beginning of the next chapter.
