Affiliations
In my free time, I meditate, practice yoga, and cherish moments with family and friends. Dancing, my first passion, has been a constant in my life since I was five, evolving into a semi-professional pursuit. I also express my creativity through sewing, designing unique clothes as a self-taught artist. Leadership has always been a natural role for me, from school activities to team collaborations and community volunteering. I believe in paying forward the support I've received, which is why I'm passionate about helping others. My experiences range from playing sports to being part of elite dance teams, and even joining a dance fraternity during my freshman year at Allen University. Though I'm continuing my studies at Miller-Motte College, I carry those experiences with me. Starting my first job in high school taught me responsibility, and now I'm also exploring my passion for hairstyling. My next goal is to attend cosmetology school, focusing on saving and making smart investments to further my growth.
