EXPERIENCE
As a student and passionate human being, I always try my best to
find places to work and thrive and get inspired. My dream role is
one that demands a perfect blend of analytical skills and creative
storytelling- and I am often very choosy about how close my
workplace or projects are to helping or inspiring people. For me,
social impact always comes first, because that is what keeps my
spirit going and when I know that my work is making a real
positive difference in the world, I sleep better.
I love teams where everybody is everybody's greatest cheerleader
and helps each other grow.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.- Eleanor Roosevelt
