From Unexpected Beginnings to Lifelong Learning
My educational journey took an unconventional path. In the 1980s, my parents, influenced by the Doomsday Prepper movement, believed the world was nearing its end. Out of fear and uncertainty, they withdrew their children from school, and my formal education stopped in the third grade.
Thankfully, the world continued. Though my early education was interrupted, I chose a different course. Through resilience, faith, and perseverance, I returned to school later in life, building an academic foundation that would fuel my professional and personal growth. Today, I hold multiple degrees and certifications, and I remain deeply committed to lifelong learning.
