Who would have thought that starting a side hustle could be the doorway to a dream job?

A few months before a series of crises hit Lebanon, Sarah had already set herself up to success through embracing the challenge of running a side hustle. Thanks to the invaluable lessons learned from the startup world, she landed her dream job and is now thriving in her career working remotely for B-Yond, a telco disruptor in the United States. Her career path is highlighted with one success after the other working with various international startups and corporations. She's only 24! but her experience ranges from innovation management to data analysis to corporate events and gives her a unique perspective and approach to marketing.
