Podcast: ‘choosing the harder path’

I was invited onto the podcast hosted by Yuri Yoshikawa whom I had interviewed.

I talked about:

  • What inspired me to become an annoucer
  • How to become an annoucer
  • How to get posts at the United Nations
  • My favourite book
  • Tips on balancing work and postgraduate studies, amongst other tasks etc

‘Even small actions can bring about change’
‘Choosing the harder, more challenging path makes you stronger’

As announcers don’t usually talk about themselves much, it’s quite rare for me to talk about myself on air.

Please do have a listen! Here’s the link.
