A Journey of Resilience and Inspiration

Despite these challenges, she demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness, intelligence, and ambition. These qualities enabled her to successfully navigate the different stages of her career from call centers to hospitality, ultimately rising to a position of leadership and success. Throughout her career, Helen consistently sought ways to work smarter, simplify processes, and improve efficiency and effectiveness.
Her ambition led her to explore opportunities abroad, where she worked tirelessly in Bali and Australia. It was during this time that she discovered her passion for the food safety industry. Helen hustled to gain a foothold, learning the intricacies of food safety standards and regulations, and gaining invaluable experience that would later prove essential in her career.
