Anisa Purbasari is a freelance journalist, editor, and content creator whose work lives at the intersection of work and life. She writes and edits stories with actionable takeaways on careers, leadership, productivity, workplace culture, personal finance, diversity and inclusion, and the future of work. Her bylines include Fast Company, Business Insider, and BBC, among other publications.

Before making the leap to journalism, Anisa spent years as a commercial lawyer — a former life she credits with shaping her instinct for precision and her appetite for asking hard questions. A quarter-life career crisis and a deep obsession with biographies, self-improvement books, and work-related reading eventually pointed her toward a career built around the things she already couldn’t stop doing. She hasn’t looked back since.

Anisa thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments and brings a researcher’s rigor and a storyteller’s sensibility to everything she creates. She is driven by a simple conviction: life is too short to consume bad information. When she’s not writing, you’ll likely find her working her way through a stack of business books or eating and hiking her way around the city.
