“I’m currently working at Jonsson Workwear as part of their graduate opportunity. I planned to study further while working but I unfortunately cannot afford to pay for my fees.
“For now, the plan is to work and grow in a professional setting so I can be more equipped and further raise funds for my master’s. I’m planning on doing short courses this year just to continue gaining knowledge.”

“I would advise young women to raise their hand whenever they get a chance. By raising their hand, I mean choosing to take part in developmental programs and opportunities, volunteering even in the smallest initiatives, and familiarising themselves with the surrounding environment (schools or workspaces).
“Volunteerism builds confidence and guides one into new ventures. I think we hardly believe in the power we have to grow and achieve as individuals. It’s advisable to always give it a try before asking why and how because those are things that bring fear and doubt.
“Consultations also hold the power to bring positive change, if there is a leader or an experienced individual around, take advantage and keep on asking questions that will bring growth. There’s so much I can say but nothing beats confidence and research.”

Melody is a passionate young woman with a good head on her shoulders and an attitude that will undoubtedly lead her to more success.
