  After being retrenched from my previous role, I took a career break to reflect on my career goals and explore new opportunities. During this time, I took the opportunity to travel and gain new perspectives, which has helped me to approach challenges with a fresh mindset. I also started a small IT consulting business and did consulting, support, and design work in various industries in Koh Samui, Thailand. My experience as a Web designer, IT support for Hotels, Graphic designer and scuba dive master has given me a diverse skillset and a unique perspective on problem-solving. Through my consulting work, I have gained valuable experience in working with clients from different backgrounds and industries, and I have honed my communication and project management skills.
