My early work life

At the age of sixteen, I worked as a Computer Tutor, where I developed my computer knowledge. As part of the job, I had to visit primary schools and teach Microsoft Office Packages. Working with kids taught me patience, adaptability, and creativity as I had to revise daily lesson plans according to the student’s needs and motivation.

The excellent training in digital skills and work ethics I gained from my first job led me to a promising career at the Attorney General’s Office. After working for five months in the Administrative Department, I got promoted to the Attorney General’s Personal Secretary. Notably, interacting with State Attorneys broadened my formal verbal and written communication skills. Those transferable skills massively helped me in my later jobs.

In 2007, I was blessed to work as the financial and human resource head of the Attorney General’s corporate and business law firm. The Managerial role at the law firm gave me the confidence to work independently and as a team member. In that leadership role, I had to finalise legal service agreements, appoint and allocate Lawyers and Paralegals to various tasks, manage client meetings, supervise payments, compile taxes and finalise audits. Simultaneously, I also headed all of my boss’s financial matters during his Presidential election bid. Moreover, I handled the Treasurer position of my boss’s political party, where I further developed my analytical skills.

I resigned from the law firm in 2015 to pursue my studies in a health science-related field.

During my studies, in 2016, I joined my father’s convenience store as a part-time Retail Manager, which allowed me to multitask and use my time management skills more than ever. In addition, entering supplier’s bills regularly and fixing selling prices has made me more responsible and organised.
