Work

I began my career overseas as a Registered Physiotherapist, earning my bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy and later pursuing a Master of Public Health. For eight years, I worked as a clinician and educator - roles that taught me empathy, discipline, and how to understand people beyond their symptoms.

But after almost a decade in the medical field, I felt myself being called toward a different path. I didn’t leave because I no longer loved the work; I left because I wanted to grow in ways the clinic couldn’t offer me. So, in 2012, I traded my scrubs for a suit and stepped into the world of business and leadership. In that transition, I discovered a lesson etched deeply into every reinvention: before you rise, you bow. Before you are rewarded, you are humbled.

Over time, I took on roles that challenged me to expand my skills, sharpen my judgment, and embrace the realities of guiding people and making decisions that matter. My move to Canada in 2020 marked another chapter of reinvention - one where I continued my learning through certified courses in Business Ethics and Management while adapting to life in a new country.

Today, I serve as the VP for Administration and Finance at a company founded by my husband, where I lead with a simple philosophy: a company should outlive its founder, and leadership must always be anchored in empathy, integrity, and purpose.

If there is one thing my journey has taught me, it’s that reinvention is not about abandoning who you once were; it’s about expanding who you can become.

My experiences in the world of business have shaped my belief that entrepreneurs don’t just build companies—they solve people’s problems and add value to the world. To me, business is not rocket science. You don’t need an MBA or any business-related degree to succeed because the classroom and the real world are not the same. In the real world of business, it is crucial to have character, purpose, and a lot of common sense. Everything else is secondary.

From physiotherapy rooms to boardrooms, I learned that reinvention is not a restart—it’s a progression into the person you were always meant to be.
