I feel like my job is going nowhere

Reason for Gainstorm Session:

Gainstorm Session Result:

  • One Gainstorm Session, 60-mins

  • Acknowledged her ultimate passion was cooking in the style of cuisine from her parents' motherland
  • If there was no limit to what she could pursue, she would open a restaurant
