Reflecting on a Year of Growth and Gratitude


As another year draws to a close, I find myself filled with a profound sense of gratitude. This past year has been a journey of both challenges and triumphs, and I'm incredibly thankful for the lessons learned and the blessings received along the way. I want to thank all of those who have supported me and my work over this past year, and I wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year!


Here are a few of the noteworthy DOHP events that came about this year:
