Researcher - Institute for Security Studies
I am 38 years old and a mother of two teenage boys, my blessings! I see myself as a young, vibrant woman with ambitions to improve through learning and experience continually. I thrive on new challenges, and my openness to learning enables me to embrace them. A good example is my professional transition from being a lawyer to a peace and security researcher, after returning to education and training in this new field. I love life and believe it is full of opportunities, provided I know how to approach things, which is why I am always seeking new ways of doing things. I prioritise my physical and mental health by eating healthily, walking regularly, and getting ample sleep. I am a friendly person who mostly smiles. I enjoy socialising with everyone and believe that everyone has something valuable to offer. I particularly enjoy talking to and spending time with older people, from whom I learn a great deal.
