Yi Mon studied Computer Science and Business Administration as an undergraduate and went on to achieve a Master of Business Administration (MBA). She is now working in Leeds as a Digital Marketing Coordinator for an environmental agency.
For those graduating this year, especially in digital marketing, my advice is to embrace continuous learning. The digital marketing landscape changes rapidly and staying up to date with the latest tools and trends is crucial.
Connect with other professionals in the industry, join online communities, attend webinars, and do not hesitate to ask for advice from experienced professionals. Always seek out hands-on experiences to develop your skills, the more you learn from others and apply what you know, the more successful you will be.
Balancing a full-time role, ongoing professional development, and personal life has been a learning experience. Time management is crucial, and setting clear goals helps me stay focused both at work and in my personal development.
Having a healthy balance between work and life is essential for staying motivated and avoiding burnout. I believe that personal growth is just as important as professional development, and finding time to nurture both is necessary to long-term success.
Leeds was the ideal city for me to pursue my studies, thanks to its vibrant and diverse community, along with its strong connections to the digital and business sectors. It was the perfect place for me to pursue my MBA and begin my career.
As an international student from Myanmar, transitioning to West Yorkshire was a challenge, but the community here made the process much easier. The supportive environment at both the university and within the local community helped me settle in and thrive.
This is just the beginning, and I look forward to my future here in West Yorkshire, refining my skills, tackling new challenges, and delivering campaigns that not only drive results but also create meaningful connections with audiences.
