Accomplishments

My interests and commitments encompass a wide range of activities that highlight my diverse skills and dedication. Crafting is one of my passions, allowing me to express creativity and attention to detail through various projects. This hobby not only brings joy but also enhances my problem-solving abilities and patience.

I prioritize self-care daily, understanding that maintaining mental and physical well-being is crucial for overall health. This commitment includes activities such as exercise, meditation, and healthy eating, which help me stay balanced and energized.

As a housewife, I efficiently manage all household responsibilities, from budgeting and meal planning to cleaning and organizing. This role requires excellent time management and multitasking skills, ensuring that my home remains a nurturing and welcoming environment for my family.

My ongoing commitment to being a loving and nurturing foster care parent is a testament to my compassion and dedication to helping others. By providing a safe and nurturing home for foster children, I contribute positively to their development and well-being, offering them stability and support during challenging times.

Additionally, I am dedicated to ongoing education, constantly seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth. Whether through formal courses, workshops, or self-study, I strive to expand my knowledge and skills, staying current with industry trends and best practices.

Together, these activities highlight my ability to balance various aspects of life effectively, demonstrating my versatility, resilience, and commitment to continuous improvement.

Certification

  • I am currently working towards obtaining my License in Clinical Therapy (Counseling). This process involves completing a mandatory internship, which is a crucial step before I can graduate. During my internship, I am gaining hands-on experience and practical skills under the supervision of licensed professionals. Once I have successfully completed this internship, I will be eligible to apply for and sit for my provisional license in counseling, which will allow me to practice under supervision until I obtain full licensure.
