Accomplishments

After working in the insurance business for two years I realized it was not where my heart was. So I decided to leave the industry and move to Italy. It is there where I discovered my passion for teaching, helping, and learning. I learnt how to teach children, teenagers, university students, mothers, and women. I also learnt how to speak, read, and write in Italian. I truely consider this to be one of my biggest accomplishments in life because it led me to be the person I am today.
