I wanted to be a vetenerian and ended up just having lots of animals. I also wanted to moonlight as a Librarian so I could read a lot. I do docs now so not that far off

I was never focused on a specific career as a child. I wanted to create and be part of something bigger than myself (is spite of my introversion). Today, I am the Technical Portfolio Leader for Red Hat's Learning and Careers team, which affords me the opportunity to both create and be a part of a larger mission.

Always wanted to be a teacher when I was a child. I would have possibly dreamed about teaching in school-level, but was able to start my career as a teacher in graduate and post-graduate levels. Currently I am in a transition phase of my career by pursuing courses as an IT professional, still with a dream to get back to teaching after a break.
