HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
I wrote essays on why we shouldn’t kill fireflies. I tried to convince people that cassava-flavoured ice cream could be the next big thing.
I probably wasn't thinking about marketing then. I just liked ideas, stories, and getting other people to care about them.
That instinct followed me into journalism and communication. I got hooked on how information travels, how people get influenced, and why some messages stick while others disappear into the wind.
Now, marketing for B2B SaaS, where I get to sell great product (like yours) to customers who need to understand them, get influenced, and nurtured to still choose you over others.

Achievements, obsessions, side quests, and seemingly unnecessary information.
Won two interfaculty debate competitions in my undergrad days. Learned how to think clearly, argue properly, and occasionally defend positions I didn’t sometimes agree with.
