I began my journey with Marine Biology convinced that science was my passion until life showed me a different path. A path I will never regret . Education is freedom !

Determination, resilience, hard work, time, support and mentorship has shaped my successful completion of my Bsc International Business Degree.
Today I proved to myself that I am capable of anything I set my mind to, despite what challenges come knocking my doors.

I had my son third semester, survived a pandemic and still attempted entrepreneurship all whilst pursuing this degree. Saying that I am proud is an understatement but the most touching part of my story is that my Grandfather literally paved the way for my success. Many years ago, alongside the current Chancellor and his team my grandpa was instrumental in the maintenance and building of the same institution I graduated from today .

This is a start , as now I have a responsibility to advocate, mentor and encourage others who wish to empower themselves by unlocking global opportunities through knowledge and wisdom.
I want to thank my parents, my partner, my mentors,my family for the love and support .
I want to specially thank my son for being my" drive " my reason for not giving up !

Today, I had the honor of meeting with the Hon Greg Fergus P.C. MP speaker of the House of Commons Canada. During this meeting, the importance of braking barriers through collaboration and the inclusion of women and youth was amplified. As we celebrate world women's Day on the 8th I'm proud to say that women are powerful beings who can foster the changes that are needed to nurture the future!
Thank you for inspiring us. 🙏
