“During my time at university, my view changed, and I discovered the complex reality of the classroom. That’s when I realized that my mission was to support, in particular, the children who need it most—specifically in the areas of special needs and inclusion. Today, I am deeply grateful that my education and the university led me down this path, because this is where I feel truly fulfilled, both as a person and as a professional.”
