Ever since, we’ve become good friends and bump on occasion on conferences, expos and shows. Luna is a very intelligent and and extremely ‘well read’ woman. She’s sweet, charming and witty. Her devotion to her work and to the industry is meticulous. I guess that’s why she’s perfect for her chosen field.

It's fun. No dress codes. But here in our office, the ratio is almost equal. In my team, 90% of my Community Managers are girls. Mental note to self: do interviews and videos asap. Thanks, Issai!
