Her story highlights the power of self-knowledge and authenticity in creating a fulfilling career that aligns with personal values.

"I'm successful because of my neurodivergence, not despite it. The way my brain works, being able to absorb huge amounts of information and data, visualise it, and find insights and root causes super quickly...I have this obsession of connecting dots."
