Male Female

Okay. So a job that I really enjoy doing is being a speaker and a storyteller. I love doing this job now because when I was growing up, I loved writing little stories and just connecting with people and having conversations. But I never thought that I could become a speaker one day. I started my career, you know, in STEM and then went through 16 different industries because I didn't really know where in the world of work I fit in. But eventually, I realized that all this became really useful for me to gain all the skills that I needed in communication and bring it all together in the field that I was deeply fascinated about. That allowed me to thrive. That's what I really love about my work and the topic. I love to make a difference in people's lives. Being a speaker is a perfect place to do that because you can influence people's thoughts and inspire positivity in people, unlike something you could do in other places, but the impact is so much more immediate. And you are affecting people in such a big way and reaching a bigger audience as well. What you do is something that I'm very lucky to be able to do now, and I don't take it for granted. The journey for me to get here has been really long, but I'm completely grateful for being given this opportunity. And why I like it so much is to be able to connect with people on a topic that is so personal about my mental health and well-being, where in some way or another, we're all struggling in life. Okay.
