Backstory and Achievements

Benedict’s career journey has varied, with experiences in multiple industries, including recruitment, banking, hospitality, BPO, and engineering.

While studying, he initially entertained the idea of becoming an educator, believing he could use his knowledge to help shape lives and the greater good. However, as time progressed and as he delved deeper into the idea, he realized the weight of what it takes to be a good educator and the impact it has not only on students but on the future of society. Despite temporarily putting his aspirations of becoming an educator aside, Benedict remains passionate about sharing his knowledge with people seeking them.
