My journey in public health and special needs has been significantly influenced by the

people I grew around, especially my grandmother, who, up until today, helps me achieve the

essential balance in work, life, and academic endeavors.

I am passionate about helping others, which has driven me to acquire essential skills and

knowledge. My grandmother’s values and ideas of life have heavily influenced me. This

adornment has helped mold me into the person I am evolving to become. I have grown up to be

confident and responsible with my life, but I still love to relax and engage in activities that can

help with my creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. As a team player, I have always

believed that extracurricular activities can help one build essential skills such as communication,

which can be transferred into crucial group processes –professional or just life! Thus, my

objective to help others is founded on the balance realized from my social, professional, and

personal interactions.

Throughout my life, I have valued educational development as a key approach to

improving my leadership and support capacities. Apart from my primary focus on autism and

spectrum disorders, I have also made an effort to develop my proficiency in communication tools

such as Microsoft Office, Canva, and other key platforms. I have a goal-oriented nature, which

pushes me to stay organized and self-motivated. My professional practice has exposed me to

opportunities for understanding the essentiality of simple processes such as constant parent

interaction and family involvement in promoting the well-being of an individual with special

needs.

A continued focus on personal and professional development can help me maintain the

essential balance in life that supports empathy and compassionate treatment of self and others.
My educational and professional journey has helped me hone and improve essential skills and

abilities integral to my upbringing.
