During my career break, I've actively pursued my passion for learning and community service. I enrolled in classes at WGU to earn a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Marketing, enhancing my professional skills. I also dedicated my time to volunteering at COVID-19 vaccination clinics during the pandemic. I currently volunteer at Backpack Brigade, a local charity focused on feeding hungry children. These experiences have enriched my understanding of community needs and strengthened my commitment to making a positive impact in my community.
