Summary

After experiencing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including significant organizational changes and periods of closure at my previous job, I made the difficult decision to prioritize my family's well-being. Given the challenges my children faced during this time, I chose to take a break from my career to provide them with support and stability at home. Now that circumstances have improved and my family's needs have evolved, I am eager to re-enter the workforce and contribute my skills and experience to a new opportunity.
