Specifications
Further describe relevant experience, including crypto and governance participation
In 2016, I developed a passion for decentralization and self-sovereignty through Bitcoin. This led me to explore DeFi and eventually immerse myself in NFTs, which introduced me to the art and community aspects lacking in traditional cryptocurrencies.
As Head of Growth at Crypto Chicks, a women-centered NFT company, I realized the importance of building support systems for women in blockchain. This inspired me to organize the first Not A +1 event for the Ladies of BAYC during ApeFest '22, managing the entire process with a volunteer committee. The event’s success and support from the BAYC community fueled my ongoing efforts in organizing events, hosting Twitter Spaces, moderating chatrooms, and forging partnerships.
As an advocate for the ApeCoin DAO, I’ve hosted Twitter Spaces discussions covering active proposals, Special Council elections, and educating the community about the AIP process. These sessions provided a platform for open conversations, promoting transparency, participation, and community engagement within the ApeCoin DAO.
