I was once that student with big dreams and a head full of questions.

I wanted to become a pilot in the Indian Air Force. I had the dream, but I didn't have the guidance to understand the path that could take me there. And slowly, like so many students, I found myself moving forward without really knowing where I was going.

Growing up, I felt that our education system taught us how to follow a path, but rarely how to discover one of our own. We learned how to prepare for exams and find jobs, but not always how to build something, become an entrepreneur or turn our ideas into reality.

I know what it feels like to have a dream but not know where to begin.

That's a big part of why I became a teacher and career guidance practitioner. I don't want students to feel that their dreams are limited simply because they haven't been shown the possibilities.

My own journey wasn't a straight path. I've explored different interests, made mistakes and learned along the way. That's what makes me believe that career guidance should be about understanding yourself, not just choosing a job.

I want to help people explore their interests, understand their strengths, discover new possibilities and find a direction that feels right for them.

Because I know how it feels to have a dream, but not know where to start.
