Hey, it’s Young. Step into my space.
I’m an award-winning writer, startup operator, and founder with cross-functional experience spanning startups, product marketing, and investor relations. I’m passionate about bridging creativity and strategy to unlock growth opportunities, especially at the intersection of cross-border business, sustainable growth, and value creation.
Education
I’ve always been passionate about storytelling and decoding human behavior to drive strategic business decisions. With a dual background in English and Psychology from Tufts University, I’ve developed strong skills in narrative development, consumer insights, and data-driven research—expertise I apply to content strategy, startup growth, and cross-border business challenges.
Career
I began my career as a creative writer, honing storytelling and consumer engagement skills with published work in journals like Eunoia Review and Literally Stories. This foundation sharpened my ability to craft compelling narratives that connect with diverse audiences.
During my junior year at Tufts, I worked as a project negotiation consultant for an international industrial manufacturer, where I developed persuasive communication skills and a strong focus on aligning insights with business objectives across global operations.
In 2023, I led a seed-stage CPG startup to place Top 5 in the Tufts New Ventures competition (as the only undergraduate finalists). As a co-founder and marketing/product management lead, I led fundraising efforts that secured $33k in seed funding and developed strategic partnerships with international suppliers, gaining firsthand experience in investor relations, strategic growth, and cross-functional leadership.
Most recently, as the Digital Marketing Manager and first dedicated marketing hire at a Series A SaaS and AI startup, I lead end-to-end content strategy, oversaw multi-channel digital campaigns, and managed client communications.
My experience spans sectors including SaaS, CPG, ESG, and heavy industries, giving me a broad perspective on strategic growth and market dynamics. I’m eager to leverage this cross-functional background and strategic mindset in consulting, private equity, or venture capital roles—helping innovative companies identify opportunities and create lasting value.
