Summary
I am a devoted ballet dancer at the Joffrey Academy's professional Conservatory program. I am also drawn to the connection between dance and health and neuroscience, particularly cellular biology, anatomy, and physiology. I actively ground myself through meditation and volunteering. I tutor refugees through Exodus World Service, and actively support Villa Vida's Women's Shelter in Lima, Peru.

Passion Project
Villa Vida Women's Shelter
Since 2021, I have devoted myself to support the shelter. Villa Vida is a shelter serving adolescent mothers and their babies in an impoverished area on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. The young women living there are all victims of sexual abuse, which lead to their motherhood. Without Villa Vida, these girls and their babies would be homeless. Having seeing these young girls face motherhood alone and with minimal resources inspired me to campaign and fundraise to help and support them.
