My Unexpected Journey: From Dreams to New Directions
Hi, I’m Rajina from Kannur, Kerala, a B.Com graduate from Kannur University. Growing up, I had a simple dream — to become an accountant. Numbers, books, and balance sheets were my comfort zone. But as life would have it, destiny had a different plan.
Like many, I went with the flow. Then came a moment when I paused and thought — What am I really doing with my life? Just as I started to figure it out, life gave me the biggest blessing — marriage and a beautiful baby .
With new hope, I moved to Dubai to pursue my dream career. But reality hit hard.
A career gap,
A rapidly changing job market,
And new professional courses I hadn’t done — all made it tougher than I expected.
To top it off, no prior work experience in accounting added to the challenge.
Instead of giving up, I decided to upgrade myself.
Dubai is known for its dynamic business landscape, especially in marketing. In a world where AI is shaping every industry, I realized I needed to evolve too. That’s when I discovered the world of Digital Marketing + AI — the perfect blend of creativity, strategy, and future-proof skills.
I searched a lot of institutes, but one stood out — CDA Academy. Their LIVE online classes gave me the real-time interaction and support I needed (unlike others offering only recorded sessions).
And today, I’m proudly on my journey to build a digital career with confidence, passion, and resilience.
Because I believe no matter where you start, it’s never too late to grow, learn, and thrive.
