Career Break (October 2022 - Present)Since October 2022, I've embraced a purposeful career break driven by the relocation to Washington DC, accompanying my husband on his diplomatic assignment. As a diplomatic spouse, my primary focus has been on fostering meaningful connections within the diplomatic community and contributing to our new community.During this period, I've also devoted time to advancing my professional learning, staying abreast of industry trends, and preparing for the next phase of my career. Engaging in relevant courses and forums has allowed me to further develop my skills and knowledge in alignment with the dynamic landscape of B2B Tech Marketing. I'm currently pursuing a year long Chief Marketing Officer Program through Kellogg Executive Education This career break is a deliberate and enriching chapter, combining personal and professional growth. I am eagerly anticipating the opportunities that lie ahead as I look forward to rejoining the workforce and bringing a refreshed perspective to my next professional role.
