She sacrificed so much to ensure I could pursue my dreams, single-handedly financing my Master's degree, my housing, and every necessity along the way. Her unwavering love, strength, and selflessness have shaped my journey, and I owe so much of my success to her belief in me. Marketing has always been my passion, especially branding and strategy, and I am excited to apply my expertise in this position.
