S2E7. What One Project Taught Me About Indonesia’s Education Sector with Sherlina Felicia Livianto
34 Menit

What happens when your dream job doesn’t feel quite right?
In this episode, Billy Adison Aditijanto chats with Sherlina Felicia Livianto, a marketing graduate who landed her first full-time job in Melbourne – only to realise a few months in that something was missing. It turns out it was a prior university-led project focused on building university partnerships with Indonesia that she discovered a deeper interest in education and cross-border collaboration.
Sherlina opens up about that turning point, what it taught her about the untapped potential of Indonesia’s higher education sector, and why she’s now preparing to resign from her role in marketing to explore a new path. We also talk about transferable skills from student leadership, growing up through career uncertainty, and what it means to find purpose after graduation.
