Being someone who stays very busy in and out of school, balancing work life with school life, I have been able to prepare myself from an early age to be someone ready to pursue the goals I set for myself and the skills I wish to master. Working in several different work environments taught me strong leadership skills, as well as working as a team under an authority. Working for a community is something I have always done, since a young age, developing people's skills and overcoming my shyness to become a more extroverted person. In addition to this, programming taught me how to manage and create applications and websites to get better at conflict resolution skills and implement feedback to always become a better worker.

I have been very interested into fitness from my middle school years, after being bullied for several years for how skinny I was, I was greatly motivated to get into the gym. My father inspired me massively, to be the best version of myself in the gym, always pushing me and reassuring me to be the greatest version of myself. Going to the gym taught me so much, from discipline over the way I eat, distribute my time, set my goals, etc. More than this, I was able to build an audience on social media of thousands of people, gaining hundreds of thousands of views on my videos sharing my fitness journey, which eventually inspired me to begin programming. Being able to have exposure to all this at a young age made me genuinely fall in love more with the process over the outcome of fitness, and I try and train daily now. Going to the gym has finally helped me overcome my major body dysmorphia, where I would wear sweatshirts when it would be a hundred degrees outside, and has made me a happier, openminded, and confident individual who can now guide and help others begin their own fitness journey. 

I had originally began playing guitar, not from my own decision, but rather because my mother pushed me into playing an instrument, My first set of guitar classes was nearly a decade ago, when I was eight years old at Island Music in La Plata. I had a tutor named Grant, who helped teach me the basics of reading music. Nearly two years had passed until I realized, maybe guitar was not for me. I had convinced my parents to let me drop the lessons and hung my guitar up. This was until I picked it back up one day when i was eleven, and started plucking the strings again. This time, I sat down, and taught myself everything. I used resources online such as GuitarHeaven, Yousician, YouTube, etc. I had began to motivate myself to pick up guitar as a hobby once again, and had played for several hours a day. I eventually began to find a sense of peace in playing music and started investing more and more time into playing and writing songs which I teach myself, until I had my first recital. Since then, I have improved much more, and plan to continue playing to become the best musician I can be.
