I was born in Studio City, a city in Los Angeles, and moved to Santa Clarita, CA at 8 years old. After watching Ice Princess one night with my mom, I began figure skating lessons in my new hometown. An 8 year journey began with many accomplishes, friends, competitions, and most importantly, falls. After thousands of hours of my life at the rink, I learned plenty of valuable and honorable traits that have shaped me into who I am today. Punctuality, resilience, team-work, and diligence to name a few. I was forced to get back up after falling at competitions while numerous people were watching. In the moment embarrassment feels like it may last a lifetime, but it taught me to be stronger and learn how to recover quickly afterwards.

Next came cheerleading, where my creative outlet really grew. As cheer captain my Freshman and Senior year of high school, I was in charge of assisting in creating routines, timeouts, banners, and more. With a lot of teamwork and time, I found a deeper passion for aesthetics and visuals.

I have always had an interest in food. Even though I am a picky-foodie, trying new foods and looking at it's presentation fascinates me. Living so close to Los Angeles, my friends and I would often drive down to LA just to grab a bite to eat. I'm so lucky to get to experience thousands of different types of food in just a 30 minute drive, and it has given me a deeper appreciation for food and culture. I also love to cook and bake, as it gives me a way to show my creativity through a different avenue.

 

I also enjoy working out in my free time. For the most part this is implemented in my daily routine, but I like to try different forms of working out. Whether it be weight lifting, cycling, yoga, or just walking, I find that switching up my workouts keeps me looking forward to doing it.

 

When I'm not working, chances are I have music blasting in my ears. Taylor Swift has, no doubt, been my number one artist since I was in elementary school. She has given me an emotional connection through her music, as well as a deeper connection to my mom and sister who are also her biggest fans.
