She was undecided until her final years of senior high school, but if there was one thing she was sure of, it was her love for mathematics. Along with her confidence in Math, she gained confidence in Life and began her job experience as a Sales Associate while taking the SHS strand in Accounting, Business and Management before landing a Part-time, Internship opportunity at Mathnasium NAS with the determination to work hard as well as to discover and learn more new things.
