Career Break

Sep 2024 - Present

2 years 2 months

Took a purposeful career pause to volunteer at a shelter for young mothers in Peru. Supported programs focused on childcare, education, and life skills, while working closely with local teams on daily operations and community outreach. This experience deepened my cross-cultural perspective, strengthened my service-driven leadership, and offered valuable space to reflect, grow, and reenergize ahead of my next executive chapter.
