Shamcey shared with Pep.ph that she even stuttered during the audition and that she thought she wouldn’t get it. So when she got the good news after a few weeks, she was definitely happy – but quickly realized that she needed to review her modules and read the architectural dictionary. She feels she needs to brush up because she didn’t get to practice it anymore because of showbiz, and she really wants to do a good job with this new endeavour because it’s her dream job.
