My Journey

The values I hold dear - equality, freedom of expression, and kindness - define my interactions and shape the relationships I build both personally and professionally. As an outgoing introvert, I leverage my communication skills to lead and inspire those around me, while also cherishing moments of introspection and self-discovery.
Kindness is the foundation upon which I build my interactions with others. It guides me to treat everyone with empathy and respect, fostering harmonious relationships and nurturing a sense of belonging. My commitment to kindness extends not only to colleagues and clients but also to the communities I serve through my work in the NGO sector.

Locus of Control - The Power of Internally Driven Actions

My belief in an internal locus of control empowers me to take charge of my life and decisions. I am convinced that my actions significantly influence the outcomes I experience. This perspective fuels my motivation to be proactive in shaping my career path and seeking opportunities that align with my values and aspirations.

Personality - An Outgoing Introvert Embracing Duality

As an INFJ, I find myself straddling the line between introversion and extroversion. While I identify as an introvert, I possess an outgoing side to my personality. My excellent communication skills allow me to connect with others effortlessly, making me an effective leader and influencer. Balancing moments of solitude, where I reflect and recharge, with social interactions, where I can inspire and motivate others, has become a crucial aspect of my life.

Morals - Compassion and Community Work Guiding My Path

Compassion lies at the heart of my moral compass. In my role as a director of finance in an NGO, I am deeply invested in community work. Utilizing my financial expertise to support social initiatives and make a positive impact on society is incredibly rewarding. This work not only aligns with my values of equality and kindness but also fuels my sense of purpose, knowing that I am contributing to a better world.

Interests

One of my greatest passions lies in the world of video games. Beyond being a source of entertainment, video games offer me a creative outlet, a platform for problem-solving, and a means to unwind and recharge my energies. Engaging in gaming not only provides me with a sense of enjoyment but also enhances my cognitive abilities, contributing to my strategic mindset.
Moreover, my passion for finance and economics led me to pursue a career as an investment banker. The dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the financial world fascinates me. I am driven by the opportunity to analyze market trends, strategize investment decisions, and work closely with clients to achieve their financial goals

Values - Equality, Expression, and the Power of Kindness

At the core of my values lies a strong belief in equality and fairness. I firmly advocate that everyone should have equal opportunities to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. This principle fuels my commitment to creating an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone's potential is nurtured and celebrated.
The freedom of expression is another crucial value I hold dear. Encouraging open communication and fostering an atmosphere where individuals can authentically express themselves enables creativity and innovation to flourish. I believe that embracing diverse perspectives enriches the fabric of any organization and society as a whole.

In this segment, I will delve into my experiences with emotional wellbeing and self-management. While I have found effective ways to manage my work and stay organized, my personal wellbeing remains an area of focus. Struggling with mental health issues, I often prefer to keep my problems to myself, leading to increased stress and internal pressure. However, my outgoing nature and curiosity continue to drive me towards exploring various aspects of life. Join me as I navigate the challenges and discoveries that shape my path to emotional resilience and self-management.
