Growing up, I was the loudest voice in the room—talkative, extroverted, and always ready to take center stage. I believed I had a natural gift for communication. But alongside my love for speaking, I was also a sporty kid, a football player who wasn’t exactly a teacher’s pet. Academically, teachers took me lightly. Every year, when the school’s annual day came around, I longed to be the host, the one with the mic, leading the event. But year after year, I was overlooked.
That could have been the end of my story. But my passion for communication was louder than the voices that ignored me. I didn’t let the closed doors define me—I built my own stage. I pursued a Bachelor’s in Journalism and Mass Communication, then went on to complete my Master’s in the same field.
Today, I stand exactly where I always wanted to be— at the forefront of corporate communication. Whether it’s hosting high-profile events, anchoring office shows, leading business discussions, or driving marketing strategies that demand strong storytelling, I own my space. I didn’t just chase my dreams; I turned them into reality.
My journey wasn’t just about career success—it was about setting the bar high and making an impact. I was also an eminent speaker during the MeToo movement, using my voice where it mattered most.
So, to anyone who’s ever been underestimated—believe in your potential, fight for your dreams, and taste the fruit of your own success. The grass isn’t greener on the other side; it’s greener where you water it. Fly high. Never let anyone tell you that you are less.
