A Bit About Me

I am an extroverted and inquisitive person, which sparks my innate curiosity for the world of communication. I have always enjoyed asking people to share their unique perspectives on life, and I strive to live life with an open mind. It's important to listen to people with the intent of understanding where they are coming from, rather than half-heartedly listen to them with the intent of responding.

​

In my free time, you can find me being involved in the arts, spending time with my family, admiring adorable dog videos, or enjoying the sunshine through outdoor activities. I also love winding down watching cinematic classics and volunteering in my community.
