“This too shall pass. When something ends, God is already creating something new ahead, often in ways that we can’t see. Just be patient. The answer comes in stillness. This moment does not define your talent, your value, or your future," she said in her Linkedin post.
"As for me, I’m choosing to embrace what’s next with optimism and curiosity. I am excited to see where God leads me next. He has never failed. New adventures await, and I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and contributing in meaningful ways," she said.

These shifts, while strategic from a business standpoint, often create waves of uncertainty for employees.
Her time at Oracle was more than just a job, she said, was a period of growth during one of the most transformative phases in technology. Working at the forefront of artificial intelligence, she found herself immersed in conversations and innovations that are shaping the future. From engaging with emerging technologies to directly contributing to advancements in AI, including exposure to agentic AI systems, the experience proved both energizing and intellectually rewarding.
According to her LinkedIn profile, she has been with Oracle since 2019 and held the position of senior principal cloud delivery and engagement lead.
Oracle is set to lay off thousands of employees, Reuters reported citing CNBC. Oracle described the decision as part of a broader workforce reduction. As of May 2025, the company employed around 162,000 people globally.
The layoffs come as Oracle ramps up investments in AI infrastructure to compete with rivals like Alphabet and Amazon. The company estimates up to $2.1 billion in restructuring costs for fiscal 2026, largely tied to severance.
