What is your current job role? And what does it involve?
I run my company and have a team of 35 people now. I mostly take care of the business development and client services and sometimes designing.

How did UEL help you get to where you are now?
It helped me grow my confidence and know the real me.  It was the first time I stayed away from home and my comfort zone.  I cannot explain how it helped me. It changed my life.

What advice would you give your younger self?
To be a more concentrated with my assignments because they do help you in the real world.  And believing in myself a little more.

Focus on your studies and assignments. Give it your 100% and make the most of it whilst you are there. Because these lovely days are never going to come back. Make it worth and make everyone proud.

Tell us something about yourself that most people don't know:
I found my love in UEL (East building) freshers' week(2013) and married her in 2018 . I don't think I will ever forget about UEL in my Life, it made me what I am today.

If you were to do it all again, would you still choose UEL?
Of course. If I had a choice I would still come in and get another degree.
