Growing up, I faced challenges that shook me to my core. Bullied for my height, I often felt like an outsider, desperately seeking a place to fit in. Shifting schools didn’t make it any easier, especially when some teachers’ biases led me to question my own intelligence.

In high school, the battles continued. I found myself enduring hurtful slut-shaming and grappling with dark thoughts that threatened to consume me. During my UG years when I lost my mother, it added another layer of grief.

However, amidst these trials, a beacon of hope emerged when I discovered psychology at the age of 14. It became my passion, my purpose, and a guiding light towards healing.

As I pursued my dreams, I encountered yet another painful experience when I experienced emotional abuse and betrayal from a teacher during my PG years. It left an indelible mark on my academic journey.

Yet, through it all, I learned the power of resilience. I achieved my dream of becoming a psychologist, and with unwavering support from my partner. I found a purpose in channeling my experiences into something meaningful – a haven for those battling their own demons.
