I used to sing with my father ever since I was 3. Then a year later I transitioned into loving to dance when I first discovered artists like Beyoncé and Micheal Jackson. I learned the choreography to ‘Single Ladies’ at the age of 4 and would try to mimic iconic dance moves that Micheal Jackson would conduct. After that discovery, my love for dance grew everyday and we would teach myself on how to dance and soon would take classes in the arts. In my teenage years I also grew a love for acting. It was difficult for me to express my desire to act because I am an introvert and have stage fright. In my junior year of high school I decided to overcome my fear and sign up for theater. Slowly but surely, acting has also helped me open up more and not be too shy around others and not care for what others think.

• My interest in outer space started in the 4th grade when I had to do a project on Saturn. Learning about planets drew my curiosity for space. I began to start stargazing with my father to admire the stars and partake in astrophotography. Capturing stunning images of the night sky filled me up with so much pleasure. It wasn't until college when I started to regain interest in space. I adventure out to explore space outside of school and seek opportunities to further my passion of astronomy. I combine my interest in both technology and astronomy into a pursuing career in the near future.

• Joined a game design club to collaborate with peers, exchange ideas, and deepen understanding of industry trends, best practices, and design techniques. Now I'm working toward creating an original game, applying newly acquired skills to conceptualize, design, and develop a playable prototype.
