^{From a young age, a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact in others’ lives has been a guiding force for me. Growing up in an immigrant family with limited resources, I recognized the transformative power of education. This realization led me to join the military, where I not only pursued my educational goals but also embarked on a journey that exposed me to a tapestry of diverse cultures, backgrounds, and religions.Witnessing the richness of human diversity during my military experiences, I came to appreciate how our distinctions make each of us uniquely fascinating. However, I also acknowledged that these differences, while beautiful, can sometimes sow conflict both within ourselves and in the broader world. Factor in the intricate web of life’s complexities—from childhood to adulthood, the ebb and flow of experiences, and various influences—and it becomes evident how these elements shape us in myriad ways.Motivated by a profound understanding of the intricate dynamics of the human experience, I made a deliberate choice to become a social worker. My mission is to contribute to positive change on a global scale, one person at a time. Through empathy, understanding, and dedicated service, I aim to navigate the complexities of individuals’ lives, offering support and fostering positive transformations in the face of life’s challenges.}
