Keta Bagashvili

“I had the privilege of being Keta's manager when she worked as the Admission Communications Intern at The New School's Welcome Center. Keta is an absolute gem. Her exceptional talent and bubbling enthusiasm for content creation and strategy are unparalleled. Her keen sense of social media trends and her proactive approach have consistently kept our content not just current, but ahead of the curve. As the student manager of our Instagram strategy, Keta demonstrated remarkable initiative and leadership, guiding a team of freelance content creators and training them on social media best practices. Her ability to manage significant tasks with grace and focus, all while balancing her commitments as a full-time student, demonstrates her exceptional time-management and organizational skills. She possesses the rare combination of being direct in her viewpoints and vision while also being humble enough to hear constructive feedback and apply it accordingly to improve herself. Despite the fact that she was a student staffer, I have never seen her that way. Instead, I have viewed her as a workplace equal in many ways and I leaned on and benefited from her vision, knowledge and experience early on in my time at The New School. Keta's forward-thinking was instrumental in revolutionizing our content strategy by advocating for dedicated team members for each of our platforms - Instagram, ZeeMee, and CampusESP. This strategic pivot from a rotation of external writers to a committed content team has significantly amplified our engagement and cohesion across channels, a testament to Keta's visionary approach. A quick glance at Keta's accomplishment before arriving at The New School demonstrates that excellence is her norm. Her achievements as a founder of a digital community and her success as a beauty and travel influencer, with a following of 300,000, speak volumes of her adeptness at building engaging, vibrant communities. Beyond that, Keta is a positive and kind person, making her not just a productive employee but also a joy to be around. She's a powerhouse overflowing with enthusiasm and great ideas and she will be a blessing to whatever organization she joins next!”

“Keta is a motivated and bright entrepreneur! She’s also an engaging speaker! She sees opportunities and she goes for them. She is able to connect dots and transcend international contexts and boundaries. ”
