My journey at Forbes started last April 2022 and if you would’ve told me a year ago that I would get to meet and speak with supermodel Alexis Ren, I would have never believed you. A gist, the perks are unmatched.

I’ve always considered this experience as my crash course in real-world journalism. However, due to my professional involvement in crypto, I was given the opportunity to become contributing writer to Forbes Digital Assets, which is essentially the independent crypto assets publication of Forbes itself.

Since I never wanted to be a journalist in the first place and I don’t come from traditional journalism, writing for a prestigious and world-renowned publication like Forbes has been a challenging, but rewarding experience. It has taught me more than what I needed to know about writing in the real world.

About Forbes:

  • A platform for independent voices. It’s an opportunity to share my thoughts and ideas with a large audience.
  • A platform for in-depth reporting. I’ve had the opportunity to write about some complex topics, and I’ve been able to do so in a way that is both informative and engaging.
  • A platform popular for their lists, like the Forbes 30u30 or Forbes Billionaires.
