About

I gave my TEDx talk back in January 2022 at The University of Buckingham. It was a truly memorable experience and I got to meet several other inspirational speakers. 

​

My talk focused on the concept of the discovery of Opportunities. And how the pandemic shifted my mindset of how I seek for them.

 

When education got tough for me, I always sought for an opportunity to be myself and grow as a person, and kept busy constantly throughout youth. The pandemic seemingly halted my aspirations and paths I have envisioned. I felt lost and out of control for months. But through a small chance amongst the setbacks, I learned to embrace the crazy imperfection, and there I saw a better understanding of who I was and where I could go. I am the only person who can influence what I do. Embracing a willingness to build things for myself rather than waiting on others.

I published my first book in 2021, a goal I once only dreamed of, but the journey behind its creation it is a full novel.
