Certification

WORKREADINESS-Soft Skills

Hiking/ Volunteering

I love hiking because it allows me to connect with nature, challenge myself physically, and clear my mind. The sense of accomplishment after completing a trail, combined with the tranquility of the outdoors, is incredibly rewarding.

Volunteering is also something I am passionate about. It allows me to help others and contribute to my community in a meaningful way. Both activities keep me motivated and grounded.
