It’s not always what you know but who you know—a truth that has shaped my journey countless times. Connections have opened doors I never imagined, introducing me to opportunities that have profoundly influenced my work and personal growth. Every interaction, whether big or small, has played a role in leading me to where I am today. I’m grateful for the lessons and experiences each connection has brought, reinforcing my belief that everything happens for a reason. Through collaboration and shared passion, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my work published and my vision amplified in ways that continue to inspire me.
