Why do I coach?
I come from a non-target university and have developed a passion for helping others break into the careers they aspire to. I coach because I’m passionate about helping others achieve their goals and break into competitive careers, especially those who face challenges similar to what I experienced. It’s rewarding to guide people, share insights, and watch them grow both personally and professionally.
