Share a person that has most influenced your career or life? And why?

  • My mom has had most influence on my career and life. She is a very tough person and always remains positive even during hard times. She always tells me, “With a willing heart, nothing is impossible. If you don’t give up on your dreams, you will find a way.” She led by example. I will never forget how tough she was even when she was sick. Her words of encouragement always come into my mind whenever I face challenges in my career and in my life.

How do you manage work-life balance?

  • I prioritize some “me time” for myself every day, if only just a short half an hour listening to music or reading my favorite magazines before going to bed. This short break is very important and gives me a chance switch off from work and refreshes my mind at the end of each day.

  • During weekends when I do not have to work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends to recharge before moving ahead into a new week.

How do you measure success, what does success mean to you?
  • To me, success is when I can look back and find myself to be a better person compared to my past. It is not linked to wealth, fame or power.

  • Success can be as simple as being able to overcome the fears that I used to have, opening up myself to trying new things, learning a new skillset, or creating a positive impact at work or for the people around me.
