My Story

I’ve always lived between two worlds — the structured precision of business and the bold, intuitive pull of creativity.

As a CPA trained at a Big 4 firm, I know how to navigate complexity with clarity. But as a writer, speaker and founder, I also know the power of story — and how it can shift not just perspectives, but entire paths.

I’m building a career that doesn’t fit in a box — one that merges strategy with soul, data with dialogue and ambition with authenticity.

I started my career in the world of finance, earning my CPA after completing a Bachelor of Business Administration fully funded by scholarships — something I’m deeply grateful for and proud of, not just for the recognition, but for the consistency, effort and heart behind it. I trained at a Big 4 accounting firm, where I specialized in audits and reviews for public companies, private companies, global banks and financial institutions, working closely with ASPE and IFRS. I’ve also had the opportunity to advise high-net-worth individuals on personal tax matters, combining technical precision with real-world strategy.

But my story has never been just about numbers.

Outside of my work in finance, I’ve always loved writing and creative problem-solving. I’ve been fortunate to win awards for writing, business case competitions and entrepreneurship, and once even found myself on a reality TV show — a fun and unexpected detour that reminded me how much I enjoy taking risks and telling stories that resonate. These experiences pushed me to think bigger - about how we define success, the stories we tell ourselves and the kind of impact we can make when we blend logic with heart.

I'm also the founder of The Rakstar — a modern media and personal growth platform built to empower ambitious, multidimensional individuals to own their voice, lead with clarity and design lives that feel as good as they look. Part editorial, part empowerment and entirely dedicated to redefining success from the inside out. Through bold storytelling, mindset shifts and meaningful content across beauty & fashion, career, personal finance, self-growth and lifestyle, The Rakstar is more than a brand — it’s a movement redefining what it means to rise.

This space is where I share what I’m building, what I’m writing and what I’m learning along the way. Whether you’re a reader, collaborator, agent, or fellow creative - I’m always open to connecting.
