A bit more on why I'm studying..

Nearly five years ago, my dad became terminally ill and eventually passed away far too young.

Through my experience of  navigating grief while aiming to thrive in my career, I learned how critical mental health management (or lack thereof) was to workplace performance and team dynamics.

Earning the I/O Generalist Certificate will allow me to pivot career paths where I can focus my energy full-time on helping others attain a quality work life.
