Summary

Although my experience is minimal due to the pandemic, I enjoy working and meeting new people. I am very personable and can talk to anyone about anything. I am a fast learner and do my best to do what is asked of me. I also published a poetry book in high school to raise money for NAMI because one of my goals is to raise awareness for mental health in my community. Additionally, I had the opportunity to be a judge for the Loyola Women's Film Festival in 2021, which focused on various areas of womanhood from different cultural perspectives.
