New Beginnings

They say May is a month of possibilities. This year, it certainly was for me. I'm excited to share that I have graduated from Columbia University with a Master's degree in Statistics. 🎓

When I first arrived in New York two years ago, I was overwhelmed by everything — the pace, the noise, the unpredictability, and the sheer chaos of the city. Coming from a different culture, I wasn't sure where I would fit in.

But somewhere along the way, the chaos became familiar. What once felt intimidating became inspiring. What once felt uncertain became opportunity.

The past two years were filled with challenges, especially during one of the toughest job markets. There were moments of doubt, moments of frustration, and moments when the future seemed difficult to see clearly.

Today, I graduate and begin my first full-time job in New York.

Looking back, the storms that once occupied my horizon have become part of the scenery behind me, the mountains that once seemed impossible to cross now sit quietly behind me.

Thank you to everyone who supported, encouraged, and challenged me along the way. Here's to new beginnings, lifelong learning, and whatever possibilities come next. 💫
