What are the major milestones in your career?
I don’t see my career as a series of milestones, but as a journey shaped by both highs and lows. In many ways, it was the more challenging moments that pushed me to grow, and helped define how I show up for others today. While I am proud of the projects I have contributed to and the communities they have helped shape, what matters most to me is the impact I’ve had on people along the way.

Mentorship, sponsorship, and collaboration have become central to how I lead. I believe strongly in creating space for others to grow, helping emerging professionals build confidence, find their voice, and navigate the complexities of their careers. Over time, I’ve come to see that the most meaningful and lasting impact I can have is through the people I support and influence by offering guidance, opening doors, or simply being a steady and approachable presence.

Who were the major influencers/mentors and what were the key lessons you gained from them?

My parents have had a profound influence on my life. They instilled in me the values of hard work, sacrifice and empathy, while offering unwavering encouragement at every stage of my journey. I strive to apply those lessons meaningfully in my daily life.
