Artifacts

I wanted to include my PADI Open Water Scuba diving certificate into my portfolio, since it reflects my passion beyond the professional realm. This certification holds significant value for me, representing dedicated hours in training and allowing me to discover the beautiful world under the sea.

This right here is my Employee of the Month award that I got during my time working at McDonald's restaurants. I wanted it in my portfolio because this plaque has a lot of meaning to me, it's the first award I got in my professional journey. It's a symbol of the hard work, and dedication I bring to the table.

This is my certificate of incorporation. It stands out as one of my proudest and most challenging achievements. When I embarked on the entrepreneurial journey, there was a lot of uncertainty, accompanied by self doubts. But despite the concerns, I persevered, and I was able to find profound meaning in the path I chose.
