From Medical to Marketing: My Journey to True Happiness
For a decade, I dedicated my life to the medical profession, a field that demands unwavering commitment and resilience. Those ten years were filled with countless moments of triumph and challenge, from the adrenaline rushes on the floor to the emotional drain of losing patients. While the work was undeniably meaningful, the constant pressure and long hours began to take a toll on my mental and physical well-being.
I wanted a new kind of satisfaction that would enable me to pursue my creative interests, maintain a work-life balance, and still create a positive impact. I wanted to finally follow my heart.
My journey too began unexpectedly through a hobby that had always been near and dear to me: Photography. Capturing moments through the lens offered a creative escape from the rigors of my medical career. As my skills developed, I started to receive recognition and opportunities to work on various projects. So then, I decided to leave... everything! And pursue photography professionally. It has taught me the importance of visual storytelling and the power of an image to convey emotions and narratives, especially with black & white images. It was this realization that sparked my interest in marketing—a field that perfectly blends creativity with strategic thinking.
Today, I am a driven marketer and owner of (2) companies who has found immense joy and satisfaction. Transitioning from medical to marketing was not without its challenges, but it was a leap of faith that paid off.
My medical background has equipped me with unique insights into human behavior and empathy, which I now apply to understanding consumer needs and crafting compelling campaigns. Each day, I am inspired by the dynamic nature of marketing, the endless opportunities for innovation, and the ability to make a tangible impact on brands and audiences alike. Embracing my passion for creativity in graphic design, video editing, and strategic thinking has not only rejuvenated my professional life but also brought me a sense of true happiness and fulfillment that I never imagined possible.
I deeply appreciate the hard work and dedication of individuals in the medical profession - immense respect for you.
And to my business partner (my devoted husband), family, friends, and clients - I thank you for believing in me.
