Throughout my academic journey and diverse work experience, I have accumulated valuable skills, achievements, and a passion for contributing to various fields. Currently, I am pursuing my studies while working in the Office of the Director General, Digital Platforms and Infrastructure Solutions at the House of Commons. This role has provided me with a unique insight into the functioning of a prominent institution, allowing me to develop strong organizational, communication, and administrative abilities.

I have experience in social media marketing, serving as a brand ambassador, in the retail sector, the public service and hospitality industry, and working with infants. During my previous employments, I cultivated exceptional customer service skills, honed my time management and multitasking skills, and developed the ability to thrive under pressure while maintaining a positive attitude.

Upon graduation, my ambition is to pursue a fulfilling career either in the NICU. My desire to work with vulnerable populations and ensure justice and care for those in need drives my commitment to excel in these specialized fields. I am determined to make a significant impact in the healthcare industry and achieve my goal of becoming a compassionate and competent nurse.
