So grateful for the enriching aspects of my life, especially the support and grounding influence of my Mom, family, and friends. Professionally, I'm privileged to collaborate with an inspiring team of resilient women. Mishca, my daughter, brings an unparalleled miracle into my life, infusing each moment with vibrancy and profound meaning. Gratitude extends to fundamental elements like health, sunlight, and simple joys with my pets, even playful disputes over kitchen duties, is a charm. Amid life's diversity, I find joy in occasional indulgences like sales and discounts :) Gratitude is what I value every nuance of this intricate and beautiful life that our almighty has bestowed upon me.
