Summary

Having first-hand experience with two siblings with special needs has deeply shaped my sense of empathy and compassion. Witnessing the unique challenges they face every day and understand the emotional and physical challenges that families face when caring for loved ones with special needs has inspired me to pursue a career where I can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. This experience has instilled in me the patience, resilience, and dedication required to provide compassionate care and support to individuals in need.
