As a former small business owner, I had the privilege of working directly with clients of various nationalities and backgrounds, where I engaged in direct communication with clients living in underserved communities. My service to my clients led me to continue my education with the purpose of learning more about behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and becoming an asset to our communities. As a lifelong learner who has experienced my fair share of failures, I take pride in being a graduate student today. I know firsthand what it's like to change for the better.
