Choosing to have this photoshoot was a celebration of a significant milestone – my 50th birthday!

The most influential person in my life has undoubtedly been my mother, and up to this day, my proudest accomplishments include being a mother to four beautiful daughters and running marathons.

If I could share some wisdom with my younger self, it would be to decide on a career path sooner to avoid financial struggles later.

Overcoming challenges taught me that you cannot make everyone happy. This perspective serves as my testimony, encouraging others to prioritize their own well-being.
