Hatch sat down with Keriana, Community Lead at Fishburners to learn more about her story and why she uses Hatch to find work!
What is your role at Fishburners?
Keriana: I'm currently the Community Lead at Fishburners, Australia's largest start-up community. Originally, I started as the Ecosystem Coordinator, but as my role evolved, so did my title. Fishburners is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to empowering individuals in the start-up arena, particularly focusing on early-stage ventures.
What has your career journey looked like so far?
Keriana: Surprisingly, I wanted to be a lawyer when I was younger. However, my passion for people and the world of start-ups led me down a different path. I transitioned from studying law to founding my fitness app start-up. The fast-paced nature and autonomy of start-ups appealed to me more than the corporate world, which often moves at a slower pace.
What has been the biggest learning curve in your career so far?
Keriana: I believe that every failure is a learning opportunity. Reflecting on my biggest growth moments, they often stem from what initially felt like massive failures. Embracing failure and learning from it has been the key to my personal and professional development.
