I make sure that they're well supported, that they have the tools in toolkit to be able to maintain their resilience during deployment and that they have the intended supports in place.
So, yeah, those are just like in a nutshell.
So, yeah, that's a great question.
So I grew up in the Philippines.
I actually started out as a nurse there.
When I was younger, I just knew that I wanted to work in the humanitarian field.
And back then it was because of a very simple reason.
I wanted to travel for work and I wanted to help people.
So I thought, why don't I travel for work while helping people?
And I thought that was what a humanitarian would do.
But then I think one formative experience for me was, you know, growing up in the Philippines and
Unfortunately, we're exposed to a lot of different typhoons, hurricanes throughout the year.
And so growing up, I was keenly aware of the effect that this had on people, on children, on vulnerable populations.
And so one time I volunteered to help out with this operation where basically this was during one of the major typhoons.
And they were essentially airlifting people from a different province who had been affected by the typhoon and had lost everything, had lost their homes.
They were airlifting them in military airplanes and bringing them to the capital, Manila.
And so my role was to welcome those people, give them psychological first aid.
They had come in basically wearing the clothes that they had.
So some of them were still wet.
And so make sure that they were warm, they had food to eat.
