“I firmly believe that success is achieved through hard work. Throughout my doctoral studies, I encountered numerous challenges that could have deterred me. However, I persevered because I understand that those who give up never taste victory. My dedication to hard work is matched by my unwavering belief in the importance of self-care and finding joy in life. I consciously strive to strike a harmonious balance between my professional and personal life, recognizing that this equilibrium is vital for my overall well-being and success. To maintain this balance, I engage in various activities such as attending family gatherings, socializing and spending quality time with loved ones, participating in spin classes for physical fitness, and finding solace through walking and meditation by the lakefront.”
