Ciara always wanted to find a career path she loved, and after years of working in the field of business in roles she didn't enjoy she realized she had to take a step back to find it. After following her passion and going back to college to study a masters degree in writing, it would be her lecturer who would suggest a career path that she had never heard of that would bring her business knowledge and her love of writing together at last.
