I’ve grown a lot both personally and academically through the experiences I’ve had along the way. My journey hasn’t been perfect or linear, but the challenges I’ve faced have honestly been some of the most rewarding parts of it. I’ve had the chance to work with people from all kinds of backgrounds, and those experiences have shown me how much different perspectives can shape my thinking and strengthen my passions. Along the way, I’ve learned how important it is to stay adaptable and be intentional about building a path that actually fits who I am and where I want to go.
