What is your wellness philosophy?

I think it’s very important to have a healthy mind and body. Many people focus on physical health and forget about their mental wellbeing – focusing on being positive and having a healthy thought process is important, too.

Your success mantra?

Money is a byproduct of good work that solves a problem.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

It’s ok to make a mistake as long as it’s not the same mistakes. Don’t take life too seriously, it’s ok to fail once in a way.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

Do not let the fact that you are a woman stop you or make you feel like you cannot do something. It all starts with how you feel and what you make yourself believe. If you think you can’t do it, how are you going to convince others?

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

Sticking to my guts when it comes to what recruitment should look like, maintaining transparency and honesty while dealing with both candidates and clients. The thing I am most proud of is the fact that I believe in what I want to achieve, and I’ve put in all my focus in order to drive myself towards it.
