Advice I’d give to a recent graduate. My advice to a recent graduate would be that anything is possible, regardless of your background or upbringing, as long as you are willing to put in the work. Pursue your passions and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. In my experience, I learned the most when I pushed those boundaries. Stay focused on your performance, be persistent in your pursuit, and be patient with your development. Above all, always follow your passions.
What does work-life balance mean to you? Finding the right balance between work and life is critical. In my opinion, both are required to be successful in life.

Achieving balance means dedicating the same level of focus, energy, and passion to my family as I do to my work.
