Life & Career Milestones

My path in life has been direct

  • 1.

    My grandfather always kept me in check with my studies. At such a young age, he would care for grades and provided me with endless support.

Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Society in general:

    When I first started at the company for Inclusion, I was a receptionist. There was a lady who started seven months after me who was doing things wrong. So I was sent down to train her, but she did not like it one bit as she was older than me.

  • How I responded:

    I don't care what people have to say, unless if they're in my department or a supervisor.
