Personal Profile

I wish to get back to what I love the most that is being around people and having long conversations. I have been on a maternity break since 2020 until 2024 to take care of my child and myself during the nurturing phase. My child rearing experience has been thrilling and has only enhanced my talents in leadership, teamwork and managing multiple schedules.
