Rina started as a part-time barista in college before taking on different roles in marketing, public affairs, digital strategy and social impact. In 2022, she helped launch the <\/em>Starbucks Upcycled Flavorlock Pouch project<\/em>, where Starbucks works with local seamstresses to help turn whole bean coffee packaging into <\/em>small lined handbags<\/em>, giving them a second life. Not only does this save potential trash from the landfill, but for every pouch sold, Starbucks donates money to the YWCA in Kuala Lumpur.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

It is more than just coffee. I am very fortunate to love what I do and be presented with many interesting opportunities. At Starbucks, every day is an ongoing learning journey and it\u2019s always exciting for me! Inspired by many partners,\u202fcommunities and NGOs that I worked with, my team and I are happy to\u202fpay it forward by strategizing sustainable social impact programs that are able to empower and create pathways to the beneficiaries. While it has its challenges, it is undoubtedly a very\u202ffulfilling career.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
