  This was an unexpectedly challenging, yet surprisingly fun three-month contract. What started as me being the marketing department swiftly changed to me leading the marketing department. I ran an army of bright-eyed interns who completely decimated my fear of managing people. We recruited over 1,300 inspired young adults to attend Festival For the Future in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

  Working for the Oxfam Trailwalker team allowed me to merge my interest in human behaviour with data-driven communication. My sole role was to generate leads and then talk those leads into raising money and walking 50km or 100km through the night. What did I learn? How to adapt when nothing goes according to plan.
