About me
Born from indian parents, having studied in a british school in Madrid , university in the UK, as well as lived and worked in India and Nigeria, I feel I am very adaptable and comfortable with working with different cultures.
I enjoy challenges and thus I created a new profitable fashion jewelry brand in 2013 however, my eagerness to grow both professionally and personally, is the reason I am open to new projects as long as they are more challenging.
Exercise, family/friends, travelling and voluntary work are my priorities.

However, I Started my job in the warehouse where I was assistant to the warehouse manager and organized orders onto the trucks. Had to make sure all orders sent as per invoices, at times assist in loading the orders and in the process got to learn the different products we were selling.

Due to my international background, and my ability to blend in with different cultures, I would be in charge of 'escorting' international guests from Panasonic Japan around the markets and retail stores.
