Highlights

Exploring Nature

Exploring nature keeps me mindful. I started to work in Cocofarm in 2016 and then joined a teachers’ training programme at Gaia School in 2017. The experience of learning the power of nature cultivated my professional skills and the sense of empathy.

Counselling

I am now studying for a master's degree in Counselling .
And I am striving for my aspiration as a professional therapist and a counsellor.
