While residing in the United States on an H4 visa, I opted to prioritize my family and offspring above all else. Consequently, I decided to take a hiatus from my professional pursuits and dedicated my time to traveling and residing in a multitude of destinations, such as Houston, Connecticut, Detroit, and the SF Bay Area. This period of my life allowed me to create beautiful memories with my loved ones and expand my horizons by experiencing different cultures and lifestyles.
