― I have gone through multiple phases in my career. Each of them has formed my current work philosophy. I have excelled in business and social projects. After relocation to Switzerland I had taken some time off to provide care to two kids. My diverse career journey has exposed me to cross-cultural experiences and the ability to navigate change effectively. This non-linear path has equipped me with a unique perspective and a proven capacity to thrive in dynamic environments. I believe that my number one asset is my ability to adapt to any challenge that is thrown my way.
