Additional Information
Between 03/2024 and 06/2025 I took time off from working. My previous role, while incredibly rewarding, was also demanding and ultimately led me to recognize the importance of taking a strategic break to avoid professional burnout. During this time, I focused on rest and reflection, allowing me to gain a clearer perspective on my career trajectory and skill development. I am now back and fully prepared to commit my full attention and passion to a new opportunity.
