Ms Taukari shared that her journey was anything but easy, however, she also hopes that her achievement will pave the way for others.
A woman who chose to delay her marriage and pursue a career in a new country is going viral online for sharing her inspiring journey. Taking to LinkedIn, Aishwarya Taukari said last week she became the first in her family to graduate with a master's degree. Ms Taukari, who is currently working as a consultant in New Zealand, also became the first woman to leave her hometown in India, attend college, earn a degree, build a career, work in an office, and move to a different country. In her post, Ms Taukari shared that her journey was anything but easy, however, she also hopes that her achievement will pave the way for others.
"Last week I became the first in my family to graduate with a master's Degree. I am now confident that I won't be the last. The youngest of 4 children. I am the first woman to leave my hometown, go to college, get a degree, build a career, go to office and move to a different country," Ms Taukari wrote in her LinkedIn post.
She shared that her journey sounds fun, but it was anything but easy. She was the first to play cricket with neighbourhood boys and run for cover when her mother came looking for her. She made sure her soft voice wasn't lost in a room full of noise, and she was bold enough to say no to an early marriage, Ms Taukari shared.
