Hobbies
As a full-time college student and mother, when I do have little amounts of free time, most of my hobbies are wrapped around finding side hustles to help me save towards my family and I's future! Often, when I am not at work, school, or doing something with my daughter, I am working on the side via Rover( a pet sitting app), instacart or spending time with friends. I also enjoy hosting, organizing, cooking, and watching movies and/or shoes.
