Defying her gravity and changing perceptions

Salomi is always willing to learn and challenge herself. After feeling unchallenged in her role as a scanning administrator team leader, she decided to make the move from her team to being a part of the clinical team, a position which she thrived and excelled in.

"Discovery gives you many doors. It’s up to you to open them!"

To whom much is given, much is expected

It’s amazing the looks you get on people’s faces when you have made a difference. Salomi says that these looks of amazement give her the drive to carry on and go beyond what is expected of her.

She enjoys working for Discovery because it is a place that has given her the ability to give her children what she never had.

Her secret lies in appreciating each and every employee

“People are our greatest assets and I do make it a point to identify a person’s value to our organisation and ensuring they know how much it is appreciated whether it be in the form of a dazzling moment, star award nomination or by simply just making them aware of the value they add.”

"At Discovery, I’ve been privileged enough to see that when you don’t give up, you keep pushing and never stop challenging yourself."

The go-to person with workable solutions

To her colleagues, Salomi is the quintessential "go-to” and "make a plan" kind of person, however, she says, when faced with a challenge there is no other way but to make a plan. She simply builds on what she has and makes sure that she thrives in her many roles both at Discovery and at home.

Salomi is an extraordinary gem who is always a light in the darkness.
