My professional journey began in the classroom, where I dedicated myself to educating young minds about financial accounting. Teaching provided a strong foundation in communication, patience, and organizational skills. However, I felt a growing desire to explore new challenges and broaden my horizons. This led me to transition into the corporate world, specifically in the field of accounting. Switching careers wasn't an easy decision, but it was one driven by a passion for numbers and a curiosity about the financial mechanisms that drive businesses.
