EDUCATION
MA Communications
2021 - 2022
Just one year of a course that didn't align with my career goal. I wanted to major in Sports Journalism or something similar. I ended up dropping out and started to gain field experience (which I did successfully).
BA Journalism and Mass Communication
2017 - 2020
Yup! You read that right, I majored in Journalism. Not only did I major in it, but I also topped in it. While there was a lot of pressure on me to pursue Law or MBBS (nothing wrong with any of those) I chose something completely different because I knew I would be good at it.
