Statement on Education
My academic interests have been a foundational pillar for my personal growth. I continue to inspire myself to study new topics and strengthen existing knowledge. I have found that learning from others and having the courage to seek growth have led me to where I am today. With that, pursuing a higher education has certainly opened doors, but it is important to note that the knowledge gained is not solely defined through formal studies; the path to success has many routes and can especially be achieved through dedication and mentorship.
