I have always been on a job since completing my mandatory one-year of government service. This has made me busy all through whilst most of my colleagues had their MBAs immediately after service.

I was inspired by them. I always wanted to be in a creative field. My parents encouraged me to pursue my dreams and never pressured me to follow the beaten path. Primarily because of their emotional and financial support, I chose my path and became who I am…

My love for the law began when I was young. I was always quick to point out injustice and was intrigued with how the law works. Although I come from a humble background and my mother had to struggle to pay my fees and take me to school, my early life was idyllic.

In in 2004, I finally got my chance to study law at the University of Nairobi…

I was already an experienced pharmacist with nearly 17 years of experience. I had been a pharmacy owner, done locuming for a year across the island, and worked in two of the biggest retail pharmacies in Mauritius.

I was curious about the education sector and felt an earnest calling to it, perhaps emulating my grandparents, who inspired me. Both my grandparents were highly educated in medicine and economics, respectively. They were principals at their respective institutions. Their sense of service and giving back to the community through teaching was inspiring. I also felt it would be a tribute to them ...

If you don't have higher education qualifications, I urge you to immediately enrol in one. Certainly, education has been the backbone of my successful career.

Settling at a certain level might be an injustice you are doing to yourself and to those that are dependent on you. Recently, an employee was injured on the job, which left her incapacitated.

I was sad, angry, and helpless…
