I would like to acknowledge those who have inspired and encouraged me to work for my passion; those who have always and still believe in what I can achieve through my journey in pursuing what I am passionate for. First and foremost, my parents, as they have always been a role model in helping people. They were always there for those who needed them, and have been always very generous with everyone who crossed their path. Although my father passed away in 2017, the waves of his generosity and kindness are still present today. Helping people, being kind and generous turned into a passion, and became part of who I am. My forever gratitude, as well, goes to family and friends who have always seen the best in me, believed in me, and always encouraged me to work for my passion. 

In the pursuit of passion, the experiences one encounters have a great impact on shaping who they become. I would say that my passion stems mainly from my life journey. Grief is one of the main aspects; losing people I loved so much has made me softer on the inside. Illness has showed me how strong I am and has increased my gratitude towards what I have. Difficult people have shown me how I should never treat others. All of life turbulences have increased my self-awareness, as well as my awareness of others. On the other hand, being an expat has expanded my knowledge about diversity, and has opened doors of respect, tolerance, and warmth between people from different religious, culture, and ethnic backgrounds. All have enhanced my sense of sensitivity, compassion, empathy, and appreciation towards others. I came to actually see that everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about. My passion for helping people has blossomed with every single encounter. 

I find absolute bliss in helping people go through difficult times, and cheering for them when they succeed. I try my best to be there and to hold their hands, whenever they need it, the same way many people did to me through my life. I hope I can make, as many people as I can, experience this sense of bliss, find their inner peace, and make their dreams come true.
