A bit about me
As an Optometrist with over 8 years of experience, my career has been deeply rooted in clinical practice and teaching. For those who don’t know what Optometry is, I have an entire blog post about Optometry. Do check it out!!
I worked as a Clinical Coordinator and Consultant Optometrist for 5 years. And then as a Faculty member of optometry for 3.5 years. But when my son was born, I took a break from my professional life to focus on him and cherish those precious moments of parenthood.
After my sabbatical, when I felt ready to re-enter the workforce, I found myself hesitant. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go back to my previous life. I was craving something new, something different.
Finding a purpose
I’ve always yearned for a career that would ignite my creativity. One that would push me to think beyond the ordinary and constantly reinvent ideas. But for the longest time, I had no idea what that path was. I found myself wandering in the vast sea of possibilities. Searching the web for inspiration. But feeling more lost with each passing day, with no clear direction in sight.
One day, while scrolling through social media, I came across Upgrad. I have family members who have used Upgrad and have enhanced their professional journeys. So I knew it was a trusted platform. I was intrigued. I decided to request a callback, not knowing where it would lead me. Within no time, Rohit from Upgrad reached out to me.
During our conversation, he introduced me to the idea of digital marketing. To be honest, I had never considered it before, but as he explained the possibilities, I felt a spark of excitement. This new field seemed to offer everything I was looking for—a dynamic career that would allow me to leverage my skills and creativity in a completely different way.
I decided to take the plunge. And, that is the best decision I have taken. With Upgrad’s Digital Marketing course, I can learn from industry experts, gain hands-on experience, and most importantly, grow my confidence in a new domain. The learning experience was transformative. It not only gave me the technical knowledge required for digital marketing but also empowered me to think in a completely new way.
Now,
Today, as I continue my journey in digital marketing, I realize that this leap into the unknown was exactly what I needed. With each passing day I am reaching, more closer to my goal of being a Digital Marketer. Digital marketing is dynamic, fast-paced, and offers endless opportunities. Thanks to Upgrad and the support of Rohit, I found my new path—one that I never imagined would fit me so well.
If you’re feeling uncertain about your career path, take a moment to explore new possibilities. You never know when the right opportunity will present itself, and with platforms like Upgrad, the sky’s the limit!
