On a personal Note
Who am I?
From the age of 10, I knew I wanted to be a psychologist. My passion for helping others and becoming a doctor was clear, though I was never drawn to working with blood, bruises, or broken bones. With the support of my family and a love for learning, I completed the long journey to becoming a child psychologist.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing volleyball, travelling, reading, dancing, and singing. Friends describe me as someone who is always smiling. I believe life is a gift and strive to live each day with gratitude.
