As a dedicated father,

I took time off from my career to be a stay-at-home parent, where I homeschooled my children and supported my wife through her master’s degree. This experience enhanced my ability to manage multiple responsibilities, build strong organizational skills, and develop patience and empathy, which I carry into my professional roles. The time spent homeschooling allowed me to foster a nurturing learning environment while balancing the demands of family life. Though there are gaps in my work history, they reflect my unwavering commitment to my family’s well-being and growth during this important period.
