The creation of this website served dual purposes: first, to enhance my proficiency in Website Development, Design, and Digital Marketing; secondly, to share my academic expertise and assist aspiring learners in this field and those seeking guidance in matters concerning Food and wellness.
In due course, I made significant strides in my career, securing a coveted role at Stunited CIC as the Assistant Digital Marketing Manager, subsequently progressing to become the Manager of the same department.
While my journey has been marked by challenges and triumphs alike, I wholeheartedly embrace every circumstance that has shaped my current life, a life that I have come to cherish deeply.
