I had not had much experience in social media marketing and event planning so I was a bit nervous for this role. But, it turned out to be much more fun and rewarding than I could have ever anticipated. It's amazing to see the community Yelp has fostered in Hawai'i and contributing to the growth of our amazing Yelp Squad <3.
