What is your wellness philosophy?

Holistic wellness should be the goal. In today’s day and age, mental well-being is as important as physical wellness. The pandemic has forced all of us to pause, take a moment to reflect on what’s really important in life and reset our priorities.

Your success mantra?

If you’re good at what you do, and you work hard towards your vision, success will surely follow. I truly believe there are no shortcuts to success. Invest time in training yourself to be the best in your field, learn from your mistakes and keep at it.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Remember to learn a lesson from the mistake you’ve made, so your chances of making the same mistake again reduces. It’s human to make mistakes, but learning from them so you can correct yourself the next time is imperative.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

There’s nothing we as women cannot achieve. And you shouldn’t let anyone make you believe otherwise. We can really do it all. Yes, there will be times when you feel like you’re failing in one aspect, as you try to balance everything. Take a break, breathe and get back at it!

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

The look on my parent’s faces every time they feel proud of myself, and the impact I can have on young women, budding doctors or otherwise. Feels great to be able to inspire them to dream big and not be afraid to chase their goals.
