Guiding principles
Adaptability: When I first stepped into the world of PR, I thought I had it figured out, little did I know that as a PR consultant, you’re most likely to be in situations where you would have to think on your feet and act fast, especially if you had a full-blown PR crisis.
Side hustle
Passionate about Food blogging, as it allows me to indulge in my passion for food and explore a wide variety of culinary delights. Whether I’m traveling to exotic destinations or simply enjoying a meal with friends and family, I enjoy documenting my food journey through storytelling.
