AAPI Heritage Month Employee Showcase: Paul Choi
Paul Choi is a Senior Community Manager here at . We're turning the spotlight over to him on our blog to highlight his contribution to a meaningful time within Asian American and Pacific Islander history, and more!
Could you explain the work you perform here for ?
In our Community Team, we oversee the Hero Community and other community -driven initiatives as well as resources. Our team's vision is to connect our customers around the world and help our Heroes to be successful entrepreneurs with community programs and tools.
What's an accomplishment in your career you're particularly happy about?
What is your experience with your own cultural identity impacted your journey working in the field of technology?
This is something I'm trying to better understand myself.
Do you observe Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and , if yes, what is it for you?
No, not specifically AAPI Heritage Month, but growing up I celebrated and was a part of Korean festivals and other cultural and historical events which would include festivals and different campaigns. Like many other people, I've realized how crucial these kinds of celebrations and events of the culture help us understand our one's identity and sense of belonging.
Could you share any event or individual in AAPI time that has significance for you?
The most significant would be been my parents as well as the many families from the immigrant community who left themselves to find higher-quality opportunities elsewhere. It's fascinating to look at the challenges facing the older generations of the AAPI group. In addition, I would like to affirm that I'll not forget the experience Linsanity was...so thank you to Jeremy Lin!
What ways can you participate within the AAPI group?
I usually seek out community in my workplaces where I spend the most time. In college, I was involved quite a bit within KSA (the Korean Students Association), and at previous workplaces I've participated in different AAPI specific ERGs.
What are you most excited when you work there ?
My most favorite thing about working at is easily the people and the teams that I'm able to work with. I truly appreciate the welcoming and encouraging atmosphere cultivated, and seeing the love that's shown for our product and our clients is truly inspiring to work in.
Is there anything else you'd like to share on the subject with our blog readers?
A shameless invitation to our customers to join our Hero Community! We'll be working building the most active and enriching social experience that we can and we'd love to have members of the community!
