I did a BSc in IT — not because I loved code, but because everyone around me was doing it. I got through with a 7.8 CGPA, but deep down I knew it wasn't for me.
What I actually loved was creativity — coming up with new angles, new ideas, new ways to grab attention. So I took a leap. I enrolled in a social media marketing course and for 3 months, I sat at my desk 12 hours a day, learning everything from scratch.
That grind paid off. I landed my first internship, then another, and kept building from there — growing audiences, running outreach campaigns, and crafting content strategies across industries.
Today, I'm most excited by projects where I get full ownership — strategy AND execution. Because that's where real creativity lives.
