My health journey
Facing cancer in 2018 became my defining moment. My lifelong interest in health and nutrition blossomed into a burning desire to help others and propelled me on a new path. Seeking guidance on preventing a recurrence, I faced a maze of conflicting nutrition advice in social media. This sparked a passionate pursuit into scientific studies, leading me to trade my extensive career in Finance for a Master's in nutrition. Through my studies and internships, I learned to address root causes and treat the whole person, not just symptoms.
My past career in Finance honed essential skills: unwavering client focus, meticulous attention to detail, an analytical and organized mindset. I approach challenges with a problem-solving mentality, conducting thorough research, all guided by uncompromising ethical standards.
As a cancer survivor, I deeply empathize with those navigating the complexities and emotional burdens of health challenges.
My journey isn't just a story; it's an invitation to prioritize your well-being. It showcases my unwavering belief in the power of health and wellness to transform lives.
