I take joy in helping animals and volunteer at animal shelters every week. I dance almost everyday and have been for the last 13 years. I spend a lot of time choreographing and coming up with new dance related ideas. I love to read, and always find time to sneak in a book or two. I also love to work with clay, as well as draw and paint. I love spending time with my family and friends, and I frequently go to escape rooms to challenge my mind. I also love embracing my culture, as well as learning more about it every day.
