I approach this from multiple perspectives:

1.As a creator who has designed and curated within the metaverse, I have an intuitive understanding of what constitutes the best user experience in this space.

2. Being the founder of BoredTea and MBA, I possess an in-depth comprehension of the product’s requirements and its integration within the ApeCoin ecosystem. My deep involvement in the MBA community enables me to pinpoint areas requiring further development and connectivity.

3. As a female user, I recognize that within the ApeCoin and BAYC communities, a substantial portion of female users may need extended communication and onboarding to fully grasp the value and utility of ApeCoin. Addressing these needs from a female perspective often garners increased support from female users.

4. My experience in organizing ApeCoin events in both the metaverse and real life (IRL) has yielded multiple successful proposals within Thank Ape. As an artist, I can bridge the gap between product, art, and the economic impact of ApeCoin through my creative work. This provides a tangible way to give back to the BAYC community through hands-on engagement. Additionally, I believe that by consistently offering engaging activities, we can attract more users.

5. I have strong connections and affiliations with several prominent blue-chip communities, coupled with practical experience as a Web3 builder. This will infuse ApeCoin with a unique culture and foster unity.

6. My proficiency lies in creating tutorials, content, and curation, all of which are vital skills for shaping the future architecture of ApeCoin.

7. I am deeply interested in developing the international ApeCoin ecosystem. I genuinely love this community. Building by love."
