About

Educator turned IT recruiter turned educator again; work and life has been great so far. I enjoy reading, music, baking, writing, adventure & travel, collecting trinkets, and watching crime thrillers and documentaries. As someone who is driven by the joy, satisfaction, and well-being of others, and having experienced life as a counselling psychologist, educator, career guide, and IT recruiter, I aspire to be the most resilient, determined, and adventurous version of myself :)
