I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by a supportive network of family, friends, and mentors who have guided me on this journey and helped me stay grounded despite the recognition.

What do you consider as your biggest achievement so far?

When I reflect on my journey, I consider graduating with my degree and embarking on a career with a prominent group of companies in the public sector as my biggest achievement so far.

Also, as I transitioned from academia to the professional world, I was presented with an exciting opportunity to work with a big group of companies in the public sector as it allowed me to contribute to projects and initiatives that have a direct and positive impact on society.

What is success for you and how do you believe you achieved it?

For me, success is about finding fulfillment and purpose in what I do, both personally and professionally. It goes beyond the traditional markers of achievement and is more about the journey of growth, making a positive impact, and finding joy in the pursuit of my passions.
