Workshop details:
As someone who once struggled with finding my own direction and purpose, I understand the challenges that come with career uncertainty. With nearly two decades of experience in local government, I've discovered the true meaning of a purposeful career. Now, I'm passionate about helping others succeed and advance in their own careers. Through sharing my struggles and successes, I aim to inspire and guide the next generation in discovering their own meaningful career paths.
