Professional Philosophy:  “The cultivation of mindfulness and self-awareness is essential for achieving true greatness. To become an exceptional leader, one must prioritize self-care, remain fully present in each moment, and embrace reality with mindful awareness of our purpose and values. By discovering and integrating all aspects of ourselves, we can unleash our full personal and professional potential. We should also approach every interaction with the utmost respect and awareness of our impact, not only on other individuals but also on our environment and all the beings who share it with us
