Continued Education & Parental Leave

Took career break from October 2024 - August 2025 to focus on professional development, enrolled in a RECA course to become a licensed Property Manager in Alberta. During this period, I also dedicated time to caring for my three-year-old daughter, enhancing my organizational and multitasking skills.
