For me it was about stepping out of my comfort zone, embracing challenges, and taking personal risks.

I have pivoted a few times in my career. Each time, I could have fallen flat on my face, but I always felt I can bet on myself and the potential upside was worth the risk. Through hard work, I have been successful in moving my career in a positive direction with that approach.

Keep learning and never think you know everything. Even if you are at the top of your field, there’s still something else to learn and somebody else to learn from. Just being open to that helped me in conversations and get ahead in my work.

I try to keep learning, whether that be through relevant news articles or online classes. Learning also helps me stay motivated
