Three years ago I started at @BusinessInsider as a translation fellow https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen"> since then...

I’ve worked on hard-hitting, impactful stories

Clearly peaked in my first week

I’ve offered helpful insight in videos, establishing that salt tastes like salt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmtIrYXlGRM">https://www.youtube.com/watch... I’m also now brace-free and lisp-free

I’ve worked in other languages with v talented journos like @Finneganporter to produce reports like these https://www.businessinsider.com/argentina-authorities-raid-labs-toxic-bleach-coronavirus-treatment-2021-3">https://www.businessinsider.com/argentina...

I had help from across the office to set up our DEI forum, dedicated to doing better with diversity, equity, and inclusion at @BusinessInsider UK — particularly from @JournalistFritz, @Hamilbug, @HarrysBadTweets, @MikhailaFriel, @meggiemerc, and others

The forum now has a splinter group for our LGBTQIA+ community https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌈" title="Regenbogen" aria-label="Emoji: Regenbogen">

Very proud of and grateful to @TFGolden and @mrjoshz for running the group + organising cool events... still starstruck from when @Divinadecampo commented on my husky voice https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

Through the forum, we now have another splinter group dedicated to mental health advocacy, run by the amazing @EsextonBrown — who also helped us to partner with @The_JDF https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">

The forum has also helped us establish a UK mentorship scheme.

I was paired with the best possible mentor, @shonaghosh. Without her help and guidance (and that of @JournalistFritz and @hayhud) I doubt I’d have got promoted.

I ALSO GOT PROMOTED LAST QUARTER https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤪" title="Dummes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Dummes Gesicht">

Most importantly, I found I can (kind of) play 5-a-side https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚽️" title="Fußball" aria-label="Emoji: Fußball"> ran an illicit saalan hustle https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍛" title="Curry und Reis" aria-label="Emoji: Curry und Reis"> made some birthday cakes https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎂" title="Geburtstagskuchen" aria-label="Emoji: Geburtstagskuchen">beat @HarrysBadTweets in an arm wrestle https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps"> and have (with @Hamilbug) probably given @chrlflyd a complex about lunchtime.

It’s been good https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Daumen hoch" aria-label="Emoji: Daumen hoch">
