Dinda Amalia Gumay or often called “Gumay” is an S-2 student at the 49th batch of Master of Agribusiness Management [MMA UGM] who has a number of brilliant achievements in the field of modeling and art. Not only has academic intelligence, this LPDP scholarship recipient also has non-academic achievements that have been initiated since elementary school. To be where he is now, Gumay has had a long journey with ups and downs that have made him more passionate. For approximately 12 years in the modeling world, Gumay explained that he often faced results that did not meet expectations and had never won a title. However, the experience taught him to never give up and always enjoy the journey. Finally, Gumay’s efforts paid off when she won the title of Winner in the Miss Hijabie DI Yogyakarta 2023 Selection. From this experience, Gumay learned that enjoying the process is the key to growing and becoming a better person in the future.
This achievement does not stop Gumay from dreaming bigger. Gumay has a target to join the competition at the national level. In 2024, Gumay was named the Favorite Winner of Emeron Hijab Hunt after going through a series of auditions and beating more than 7,000 participants from all over Indonesia. Gumay believes that, as long as we work hard, long-held dreams will come true in time. The long journey he went through not only provided valuable experience, but also knowledge in various aspects, opportunities to build relationships, practice self-confidence, and improve public speaking skills. “All of this has given me the confidence to share my knowledge and experience as a guest speaker at various events in the last two years,” said Gumay.
Selain menekuni bidang modeling, Gumay juga mendalami dunia media sosial dengan menciptakan konten yang berfokus pada bidang kecantikan dan pengembangan diri. Gumay memulai perjalanan ini pada tahun 2017, meski sempat terhenti selama kurang lebih empat tahun. Pada tahun 2022, Gumay kembali aktif sebagai content creator. Keseriusan Gumay dalam bidang ini telah membuahkan berbagai penghargaan, seperti Konten Reels Terbaik dalam Musmilah Model Class by Ayuna Official 2024, Konten Reels Terbaik dalam “Emeron Challenge” di Emeron Hijab Hunt 2024, dan Juara 1 Inkubasi Konten Kreator LPDP UGM 2024. Melalui perjalanan ini, Gumay tidak hanya mengembangkan kreativitas dan inovasi dalam menciptakan konten, tetapi juga membangun jaringan, berkolaborasi dengan berbagai brand, dan meningkatkan kemampuan storytelling serta personal branding.
Although Gumay has a busy life in the field of modeling and content creator, it does not hinder his enthusiasm to continue his Masters Education. Gumay has been an active MMA student since 2024 and is one of the recipients of the LPDP scholarship. “I also continue to explore knowledge in the academic field by pursuing a master’s degree through an LPDP scholarship, which is one of the great achievements in my life,” said Gumay. Gumay’s background in choosing the MMA Study Program is because he wants to explore and develop more management knowledge in the field of agribusiness. This is also supported by his interest in the Master of Agribusiness Management curriculum that suits the needs with a focus mostly in the field of “management”. In addition, it is supported by widyakarya activities which increasingly make Gumay interested because these activities can support Gumay to know firsthand the various activities of agribusiness companies and their management aspects. Through the workshop, Gumay was also able to explore national and international agricultural conditions. Through MMA, Gumay hopes to get things that match Gumay’s expectations so that it can then support his future career.
