Lena considers herself a full-time tourist; her number one passion is traveling and visiting new places. She is also a beauty junkie–on her first visit to Sephora, she spent almost six hours in the store. To finance her travels and makeup addiction, she works part-time at a university and does some consulting in the economics field. In about 20 years’ time (hopefully less), you’ll find her managing a small bed & breakfast near the beach somewhere in eastern Indonesia.

She studied Mass Communication at the London School of Public Relations. In Daily Media, she runs the marketing and communications department. Her career has spanned from teaching, event management to managing a public relations department, until she found her true passion – making Daily Network as successful as possible. Deep down, her favorite color is pink. But if you ask her, she’ll tell you it is blue, because she thinks pink is “too girly”. Although you will notice that it doesn’t affect her choice of nail polish shades at all because nail polish, along with shoes, is her biggest weakness. More about Vanya here.
