Tell me about your background?
We comprise 8 family members: my mom, my dad, three sisters, three brothers, and I am the 3rd among my 6 siblings. However, I hail from a split family. Unfortunately, a year ago, my mom and dad separated. My mom had 3 kids at the age of 20. Following their separation, she initially completed her degree in generic nursing, then secured a job to provide for her children. Surviving as a single mom is undeniably challenging, prompting my mom to plan her second marriage for our welfare. Subsequently, my own father remarried as well. Both my biological father and stepfather were businessmen, yet they never supported my mom in caring for her first three kids, even after her remarriage. My mom single-handedly raised us. That’s the extent of my background.
What is your profession?
I am pursuing a degree in Pathology Laboratory Science, also known as MLT (Medical Laboratory Technology). In this program, we delve into various subjects such as General Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Histopathology, Hematology, Medical Laboratory Establishment, General and Special Pathology, Microbiology, and Report Writing. A medical laboratory professional plays a crucial role in diagnosing various disorders by ensuring the quality control, accuracy, precision, and timeliness of medical reports.
You are interested in acting and dramas as well as being a professional print model. What are your plans for your acting career?
Firstly, I will complete my professional degree. After that, I plan to relocate to a larger city and audition for TV ads, dramas, or movies. If I am selected, I will pursue my acting career alongside my medical profession because both fields hold significance for me. While the medical field fulfills my mother’s dream, acting and modeling fulfill my personal aspirations. I hold respect for both my mother’s dream and mine. If I am not selected initially, I will persist in auditioning and practicing until I secure an acting opportunity.

Being a role model and making a positive impact in the world epitomizes true beauty. Thank you for the question.”
