Life is continually changing. I am constantly evolving.
One part of me follows the path of earning a salary from various industries, namely sports, finance, education, tourism and media. I've been helping SMEs and corporates to develop marketing and communication strategy and PR campaigns for more than a decade and specialise in content creation and community engagement.
The other part of me has the eager to take the journey within. I've been interested in writing since I was in primary school. Every day, I either write online or write in my journal. I have published a few short stories and novels and shared my experiences, learning, and perspective on various media channels. Writing is the way to heal, to reflect and to learn.
