About my background...

I come from a long line of teachers and academics. The very essence of my upbringing revolved around the belief that a solid education, topped with a government job, was the epitome of success. So, I diligently followed the path set out for me, graduating from a prestigious university (Yale) with a degree in business management, which seemed like a balance between stability and aspiration.

​

By my mid-20s, I found myself at the helm of significant projects, managing hefty portfolios, with a handsome paycheck reflecting in my bank account monthly. On the outside, I had it all— a thriving career, a modern condo in the city, and parents who wore their pride on their sleeves. Yet, within, a storm brewed. Days started blending into one another in a monotonous loop of boardroom meetings, client calls, and targets. I often found myself pondering, "Is this it? Is this the dream I chased?"

A deep realization struck: I was living a narrative penned by others, not one of my own choosing.
