Once my kids started school, I wanted to be the person that a mother trusted to leave her baby and go back to work, hence starting the journey of a preschool teacher last year in August. The journey has been nothing but pure bliss. Outside of work, I enjoy creating videos and capturing moments. With a loving spouse and two young kids, family is my greatest joy.
