    Spirituality and Faith play an important role in Mega's life. She is determined to live a purpose driven and meaningful life as well to enjoy the blessings life brings. One of her life aspirations is to bring healing and hope to others through counselling. Outside of work, she enjoys new adventures and exploring new interests.
