To prevent staying at home with her wonderful grades, Harriet decided to take the chance and pursue what came her way, which was Business Administration, majoring in Human Resource Management.

After university, Harriet who is popularly known as Hertilicious, had her national service at the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) in 2019 with the hope that she would venture into banking.

However, life took another turn once again particularly because of the coronavirus pandemic that crippled many businesses in 2020.

"I found myself at home, carefully considering what my next line of action should be when a good friend of mine advised that I go into media because of my eloquence. I knew nothing about media. But on June 1, 2020, I took the chance and went to Empire FM," Hertilicious recalls.
