Bio
I am a digital media professional with an IT degree, an ongoing MBA education, a passion for all things tech, a hint of creativity, and a never-ending pursuit for self-improvement.
Beyond just achieving goals and KPIs or winning an award or two, what I consider my biggest professional achievement is the trust I have earned from the people I work with, and the positive influence I believe I have on people around me.
Guiding principles
“Let your work speak for you” – Like most people who know me, I don’t like talking about myself. I may not be loud and sometimes it is a challenge, but I’d rather let my work speak the volumes.
How has Covid changed your job?
Just like most challenges in general, this period has brought with it opportunities to either change, grow, or adapt. In my case, it made me change my perspective, grow my skills, and adapt to constant shifts in processes, clients, and a lot of other things. I was also pushed to take up more responsibilities and I have gladly discovered skills I never knew I had.
Side hustle
I love painting whenever I have the chance. When I need to clear my head, I paint sceneries, trees, nature, sunsets, that sort of stuff. I also try my best to squeeze in some time to play badminton. And lastly, I do my MBA classes on weekends.
