what or who inspired you to pursue your chosen career?
my parents have always encouraged me to maximize my potential and seize every opportunity, even if they didn’t have these opportunities themselves. when i was young, this sometimes felt as pressure, but it has ultimately fueled my passion and drive to constantly learn and grow as a person, professional, and leader, making me who i am today.
