I stumbled into my career in Communications cluelessly. An unexpected meeting led me down an unexpected career path.
14 years later, I am still navigating that career path.
My official profile captures my professional growth from the early days of being an intern at a media company and it covers my work as a Communications Advisor.

There are a number of things that my official profile does not capture.
Despite the fact that my work is public facing, I am an introvert at heart. I love to reflect and enjoy moments of stillness where I can ruminate and properly process my thoughts.
I have a strong commitment to excellence. In fact, I hold myself to a high standard of excellence irrespective of the scale and the size of the project I am working on. I believe that in small and in big things, excellence is important.
Something else my official profile does not capture is the highs and the lows of the journey, the moments of confusion and doubt and the determination to succeed in a path that was filled with several uncertainties.
I am grateful for the grace to persevere and push through. This has allowed me to build a successful career in Communications. I bring this same perseverance and dedication to the work that I do. I go the extra mile to achieve the right results and develop solutions that are needed by my clients.
In essence, I don’t just work as a Communications professional. I am also a strategic thinker, a solutions provider and a trusted advisor. All of this makes the work that I do even more impactful and fulfilling.
