06.2018 - 05.2022
- I provided care for my grandfather until his passing.
- The transition back to work following this traumatic event proved to be quite challenging, necessitating a leave of absence to support my family in their recovery and re-establishment of routine after his profound loss.
- This period was subsequently extended due to the unfortunate passing of my father last March, followed by my mother in November, both within a few months.
- While this has been a profoundly emotional time, I now feel I have reached a point of healing and am prepared to resume my professional responsibilities.
