My future is in Gerontology.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Gerontology and actively seeking opportunities to work in this field, where knowledge meets compassion. I have a solid academic foundation in Aging Studies, combined with hands-on experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds around the world.

Patience, empathy, and genuine human connection are at the core of who I am and how I work. I am deeply motivated to support older adults in living not only longer, but better by fostering emotional well-being, dignity, purpose, and joy in their daily lives.

I see myself working closely and directly with senior community members, listening to their stories, understanding their needs, and guiding them toward healthier, more meaningful, and fulfilling lives. For me, aging is not about decline, but about honoring life, wisdom, and continued growth.
