What are the 3 words you would use to describe yourself?
Ambitious, Strategic & Diligent
What is your biggest fear about the future?
My parents not living long enough to see the peak of my success.
What would be the title of your memoir and why?
“Perfect Timing”
“Perfect” would have a double meaning:
- Largely because I have never stopped believing that things come to pass at the exact moment that God believes you are ready for them, and that when they do occur – it’s at the moment you are perfectly equipped for them. I believe this has been a theme in my life.
- The second meaning of perfect would talk to my perfectionist, painstaking nature.
What gets you out of bed every morning?
My burning desire to succeed and make my parents proud, make my dreams and desires come true, and truly change my country for the better.
What is your definition of success?
If I am part of a loving family, am a great mother, daughter, sister and wife; and have made all the desires of my heart come to pass financially, materially & career-wise – then I will regard myself as a successful individual.
One fun fact about you?
A fun fact is that I enjoy chatting to strangers. I really enjoy meeting new people.
