“Working freelance is relaxing. However, I soon experienced a loss of purpose and pressure of finance. Encouraged by my mentor from NTL, I took on a part-time role as a Project Manager while teaching dance, offering me the flexibility to manage both jobs.
Despite the challenges of juggling two roles, I find it fulfilling and empowering, showcasing that the slash model isn’t limited to the young. I never imagined I’d become a slash worker which balances my dream with reality. Never too late to step out of the box and discover any possibilities!”
