A Year Ago, I’d Have Said ‘Never’—Now, Here I Am.

If you’d asked me a year ago if I’d be here, I probably would’ve laughed and said, “Not a chance.”

A Master’s degree? It wasn’t part of my plan. It wasn’t even in my line of sight. Not even a passing thought. 

Life doesn’t exactly wait for you to have it all figured out. It doesn’t ask for your permission to shift directions. It just does … unexpectedly, unapologetically.

I was in marketing. I lived and breathed strategy, stories, and screens.
But somewhere along the way, a question started to pop up more often than I expected:

How does that product even get here?
Who’s behind it?
What chain of decisions brings it to the shelf—or the screen?

And suddenly, I couldn’t unsee it.

That one curiosity turned into a pull.
And that pull brought me here.

It’s unfamiliar. It’s unplanned. But somehow… it feels right.

Excitement? Definitely.
Doubt? More than I’d like to admit.
It’s a tug-of-war between “Am I sure about this?” and “What if this is exactly where I’m meant to be?”

All I know is—this wasn’t part of the plan.
But maybe it’s becoming one.

So for now, I’m walking this new road.
Because sometimes, the path that wasn’t mapped…
Still leads somewhere.
