About
I am a mother to three children and a grandmother to two. Wanting to emphasize the significance of pursuing higher education, I embarked on my own quest to attain a Bachelor's Degree. Back in 2014, I began my journey in Emergency Management with a temporary position, but it didn't take long for me to develop a deep passion for it. Collaborating with individuals and aiding in their recovery post-disaster brings me immense satisfaction. Being a contributor to their recovery process holds great importance in my heart.
