My passion is people.
Communicating to be understood. For this to be effective, one needs to spend time to understand the people involved and see things from their perspectives. There is nothing I enjoy more than this. As a communication specialist, I enjoy developing innovative strategies which engage and achieve growth.

MY PASSION
I live by Confucius words who said if you choose a job you love, you will never have to work a day in your life. I see work as a big part of my life especially because I spend most of my time and energy to it. That’s why I have always engaged in work I passionately enjoy doing. This way, the work-life balance comes naturally and I don’t have to choose between work or life as the priority. As a result, am always more proactive than reactive.
SELF-REFLECTION
My career and life lessons are a careful blend of reflection, which is noblest, of imitation which is easiest and of experience which is bitterest. There is no arriving because there is no destination. With my continuous hunger for learning, my creativity is renewed and sets the pace within the industry I operate. Getting to the top is just the start of greater challenge: of staying at the top. Just as I always hit my summits during difficult terrains in weather-conditioned hikes, I always get there. I always deliver quality and on time.
I am not afraid to fail because therein lies the greatest lessons. I am not afraid to try because someone is waiting on me to create a path. I walk, I even attempt to fly but someday, I will run the world.
