From Lelaibei Primary School in Kuresoi South to the University of Oxford and MIT, my academic journey has been interesting to say the least.
In this episode, I walk you through my academic journey, highlighting key lessons that I have learnt. On top of the list of these lessons are: the power of taking risks, practising gratitude, and staying curious and adaptable. I am forever grateful to my parents, teachers, friends, and mentors who have supported me throughout this journey.
