Since the beginning of June 2024, a new recruit has joined the Meanwhile Boutique team. Her name is Lina, our new events and communications manager !
Welcome, Lina!
To learn a little more about Lina, we asked her a few questions
Could you introduce yourself in a few lines…
My name is Lina, I am 22 years old and I grew up in Algeria, on the Mediterranean coast. A passionate polyglot, I love traveling, photography and editing, dancing, and going to the gym.
Tell me a little about your background, your studies?
After obtaining my ES baccalaureate in Algiers, I moved to France to pursue a degree in Applied Foreign Languages (LEA) in English and Spanish, with the good fortune of spending my third year in Córdoba, Andalusia. Currently, I am in my first year of a master's degree in LEA International Business with a specialization in international management in Aix-en-Provence, the city of a thousand fountains.
Do you like what you do?
Absolutely! It is the perfect fusion of languages, communication, and the world of international business.
Why did you choose to work at Meanwhile Boutique? Which values in the charter do you resonate with the most?
Meanwhile Boutique has a strong identity that immediately struck me. It preserves artisanal trades and promotes responsible practices, for example through its made-to-order production policy to avoid overstocking and, consequently, overconsumption. Furthermore, it is a boutique that pays particular attention to women, notably by collaborating with NGOs, financially supporting numerous causes, and highlighting female minorities. It is a combination of kindness, professionalism, and strong commitments.
The values of Made-to-Order Production and Women Empowerment are therefore particularly close to my heart and motivated me to join this human adventure to contribute to a more equitable future.
What is your role and what are your missions at Meanwhile Boutique?
I am an events & communications assistant for a period of 2 months and I am mainly involved in organizing the eco-friendly festival on June 22 in Marseille. At the same time, I am in charge of content creation on social media and communication/marketing. I also work on competitive intelligence and Shopify.
What is your favorite subject?
I have always been fascinated by the sky and astronomy. There was a time when I used to enjoy trying to identify constellations, which also explains why my head is often in the stars… Aside from that, I am unbeatable when it comes to the world of Studio Ghibli animated films!
What is your favorite social network?
I find that they tend to become more and more similar, both in terms of features and content, which makes the choice difficult. However, I have a soft spot for Pinterest because it is like diving into a bubble where you can escape daily, which is very pleasant.
What is your favorite brand / product at Meanwhile Boutique?
The rings from the Lebanese brand Nounzein, the very sunny necklaces from Joia Bijou, the swimwear from Kaly Ora, and the list goes on...
If you had one wish to make for the planet, what would it be?
My wish is that the ecological transition becomes a global priority, with concrete and immediate actions to protect our environment and above all guarantee a sustainable future for future generations… and that peace reigns on earth.
Thank you to Lina for her answers.
