If there is one thing I am certain of, it is that I am a big believer in building bridges. My personal and professional experiences have given me a knowledge of variety in humanity and our natural surroundings over the years. I've gained resilience and established clear boundaries for making the most use of my empathetic nature.
I feel I am here for a reason, and that reason is to empower society and get the wisdom I aspire to gain. That is why, after more than a decade in the hair industry, I felt compelled to pursue my true purpose. I aspired to work in human services and in the field of social justice.

So I am hereby representing myself as an emerging social worker who has a rich cultural experience seeking for an opportunity to make a difference and be empowered in your prestigious organization.
