Summary

I am passionate about making a meaningful impact in people's lives, I am transitioning from a career in horticulture to social work. With a deep commitment to supporting individuals in need, I aspire to guide and empower others as they navigate life’s challenges. My greatest passion lies in working with children, advocating for their well-being, and creating a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive. My ultimate goal is to protect and uplift vulnerable children, striving to be a positive force in their lives and a catalyst for lasting change.
