As a Las Vegas inhabitant, my spirit is defined by an unyielding optimism and a forward-thinking outlook. My professional path traverse's real estate, a natural evolution from my earlier career as an IT specialist, a choice influenced by my fascination with both scientific principles and the evocative power of narrative artistry. My life's narrative has been profoundly shaped by a defining cancer diagnosis in 2012. Prior to that, my formative years, from ages two to seven, were spent in an austere yet influential environment within an orphanage, nurtured by the devoted care of nuns. Furthermore, the harrowing experience of domestic violence has etched its mark. These crucible-like experiences, though fraught with immense difficulty, have paradoxically become the very bedrock upon which my resilience has been forged. Despite the considerable challenges, these profound adversities have unexpectedly blossomed into sources of great blessing. I now find deep solace and unadulterated joy in channeling my emotions through the vibrant expressions of dance, the resonant melodies of song, and the rekindled pursuit of piano mastery. While the arduous journey of reclaiming my physical strength has presented its own formidable trials, I am presently making significant strides in this endeavor. My fervent aspiration, as I openly share my lived experiences and these burgeoning passions, is to serve as a beacon of empowerment. I aim to guide individuals grappling with the specter of illness and the lingering shadows of emotional trauma towards the discovery of their inherent fortitude. My ultimate hope is to facilitate their journey towards finding profound solace, achieving genuine healing, embracing unadulterated joy, and ultimately, experiencing the serene and liberating triumph of self-discovery.
