I was born in Slatina, Romania, in 1998. I was left in an orphanage, but God had a plan for me! I was adopted when I was 19 months old. After that, I came to America! My life took a significant turn when I was 12. That was the year I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. It was a revelation that brought clarity to my family. A diagnosis is not the end of the world. It is the beginning of understanding! My life has been a series of challenges, but I've never faced them alone. I've overcome every obstacle with God by my side and the unwavering support of those who believed in me. When I was a senior in high school, I chose to become an occupational therapist assistant. My decision was fueled by my deep understanding of being different and my profound compassion for others. I knew their struggles because I had lived them. On December 16, 2021, I proudly graduated with my degree as an occupational therapy assistant. I am deeply passionate about advocacy, raising awareness, and helping people. I believe God uses me as His vessel to minister and share His love with others.
