In December of 2023, I packed my entire life into a few suitcases and moved across the world to start over. It was the first time I was truly on my own, adapting to a new culture, building connections from scratch, and learning what I was truly capable of.
This journey was anything but comfortable, but it was exactly what I needed. That path to independence began at Arizona State University. Today, I'm not just graduating with a degree; I'm graduating with a new life, a fresh perspective, and the proof that I can thrive anywhere.
