My most challenging adventure was…

moving to Germany alone at 17 and immersing myself in a foreign culture. I didn’t realize that would pale in comparison to the current chapter of my life—juggling a full-time role while raising my special boy with autism as a single mom. It’s not just a challenge; it feels like a mission impossible! However, thanks to support from the Earlybird Health team, I am managing it all.
