Summary

Grounded in principles like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, I believe in fostering environments that support both individual growth and strong family bonds as the foundation of a healthy society. Enthusiastic about learning languages and exploring diverse cultures, I bring cultural sensitivity, empathy, enthusiasm, and a commitment to holistic support in helping others grow whole.
