She dedicated herself to studying medications and treatments, further expanding her knowledge and skills.

Despite the challenges of balancing triple majors, leading an NGO, and teaching, Marina refused to surrender. Her unwavering determination saw her embrace each commitment, striving for success in every endeavor.
