My Unconventional Journey
Career pivOting unveiled
Since my childhood, I have always loved fashion. To me, fashion is not just a dream but an intuition and an emotional expression. Throughout my early years, I felt a natural gravitation toward the fashion industry, and it seemed destined for me to pursue it as my career during my under graduation. However, life had different plans, and I found myself opting for computer sciences, eventually landing a job in the software sector.
​
At first, it felt like a detour from my true calling, but little did I know that this detour would become the catalyst for something extraordinary. Working in the IT world made me realize how much I wanted to be involved in the world of fashion. So, while keeping my job in the software sector, I decided to explore my passion further by enrolling in a fashion design diploma course. This opportunity allowed me to delve deeper into the fashion sector, honing my skills and understanding its creative aspects.
​
As I gained confidence and knowledge in both technology and fashion, I knew I couldn't ignore the fact that I wanted to pursue a career in fashion. So, I took a bold step and made the decision to pivot my career direction entirely, pursuing a degree in fashion management in the UK. It was a leap of faith, driven by my love for fashion and my desire to understand the industry's business side.
​Now, I'm extremely proud of this decision, as I am currently working as a Merchandising Admin Assistant at Hobbs London. More updates coming soon!!!
