I aspire to become someone truly great—not for recognition, but so that my daughter and my family can look at me with pride. More importantly, I want to be proud of the person I’ve become. Learning has always been a passion of mine. I’ve loved reading, exploring ideas, and immersing myself in academics. I graduated high school as an honor student and eagerly pursued a college degree. But life, as it often does, presented unexpected challenges. Though I fought through them, those obstacles slowed my educational journey. Today, I’m 37 years old with an incredible 11-year-old daughter, and I’m more determined than ever to finish what I started. My love for education remains strong, and I’ve developed deep interests in child development, nutrition, and more recently, holistic nutrition. I’m fascinated by the intersection of textbook science and natural approaches to wellness—and I’m eager to explore how both can coexist to promote healthier lives. This time, the journey is personal. I carry a renewed sense of purpose and a vision for how I can serve and uplift my community. I know I have the power to make a meaningful impact—and it is my mission to do just that.
