As a child, I enjoyed the ads way more than the TV programmes
By the time I was swappingFancy Pencils in school,
I had mastered the art of marketing, negotiation &
sales …..with conviction!

Soon I had extended the ‘product offering’ to scented erasers, fancy papers & pencil sharpeners!
From then on I knew that my strengths were in Marketing & Business Development
This lead me to thinking how can I develop this further?

experience in the service industry &
learned fast, that those who worked hard
enough, could achieve
anything!
