Career Highlight

Moving to the Middle East to further my career was a turning point—one that pushed me to adapt, grow, and navigate one of the most exciting markets in the world. A very early career highlight would be winning the ICCA scholarship to attend the global conference in Houston— they're not lying about Southern Hospitality!

Personal Best

I once willingly signed up for a silent retreat in Byron Bay—despite being a victim of needing to fill space with words. Somehow, I made it through the ordeal, learning to embrace my inner chatter and uncover patterns I hadn’t noticed before. Turns out, silence really does speak volumes.
