What is a day in your life at ZALORA?
A day in my life here at ZALORA consists of lots of creative discussions, I work closely with influencers!

It can get very overwhelming, keeping up with deadlines with brands and campaigns, I also help in event planning and ideation :)

EVERYTHING!! The PRSM team was what made my internship so fun and less stressful at times! I don't think there is a day I come into the office and I am not laughing.
