“During the pandemic, I have also been responsible for the daycare and schooling of my two young daughters, Melanie and Mila. With the support of my manager, I have balanced work and life by starting earlier in the day, taking breaks, and resuming some of my work later at night. This approach has helped me remain a top producer on the team.”
