Tori Rogers

Tori moved to Bangkok 8 months ago as an English teacher because she was eager to explore other parts of the world for a year. Before moving, she was a PR and Marketing Consultant helping to promote startup companies as well as high profile events and clients such as FoxTV via press releases, red carpet media interviews, social media and press conferences.

She has also worked in corporate marketing, radio and as a Media Buyer for an advertising agency. After living in Bangkok for a couple months, she grew in love with the city and decided to settle in for a bit. She is now working at a marketing agency and venturing into arts and media in Bangkok. Tori also recently launched her site, ToriTalks, to provide career coaching and PR services in SE Asia.

I was moving across the world and I didn’t know anyone. That meant having to learn the secrets behind building a network of new friends and professional contacts. Here's what I learned from building professional networks.
