Professional “aha” moment
“During the pandemic, launching ArkanTalk showed me that when everything else is stripped away — the titles, the comfort — what matters most is connection. Real change starts with real conversations. That moment taught me that my gift isn’t just communicating; it’s building bridges between people who might never meet otherwise.”
Professional inspiration
“I’m inspired by the idea that one voice, one story can change everything. I believe in the power of communication to heal divisions, lift communities and spark hope.”
