I am a dentist; a Master’s degree holder and an owner of a PR agency specialised in medical PR. I also I have a lifestyle fashion blog.
What was the hardest part of your journey so far?
The hardest part of my journey was deciding what I actually wanted to do. Leaving the faculty career behind and starting my own business was a tough decision. I was very lucky though to have people who encouraged and believed in me.
What motivates and drives you?
Success drives me and ambition motivates me, the sky is my limit.

Yes, definitely. I believe that life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Were there any books that motivated you?
Successful people motivate me more than books can.

I honestly think you should set your goals and avoid any diversions. Never get affected by negative feedback. Always stay focused.

Success stories and strong women inspire me.
How do you deal with a bad day at work?

What do you do when you’re not working?
I spend time with my family; have some relaxing time; go to the spa or meet my friends.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone who’s starting out in the field, what would it be?

What’s your next big step?
We have a lot in the pipelines regarding the PR field. I hope we can actually make a difference.
