Beginning with my first job as a German language teacher, I have been on a journey to accumulate relevant experiences. During this voyage, I have engaged as a project manager in a few prominent German organizations.

My passion for project management has only intensified over the years. I became more and more engrossed in polishing my management skillset during the tenure of 5 years as a project manager.
That’s when I realized my true calling for collating ideas and bringing them to fruition. Along with these skills, I have always been committed to nourishing what I take up, from beginning till end.
Now to enhance my management skills further, I pursued master's degree in international management at Hochschule Fulda, Germany.
​
From now onwards, I have decided to dedicate myself to serve and invest in migrant women empowerment and their entrepreneurship.
