I love exploring new places and experiencing different cultures when I travel. I like to wander without a set plan or destination just to observe, learn, and take in the environment as it is. Traveling has shown me how big the world is and how much there is to learn from other people and ways of living. In the future, I hope to work in the education sector and support underprivileged communities abroad. Fun fact: one place I’ve always wanted to live is Hawai‘i.

Volleyball has been a part of my life for the past seven years. I’ve played in club, school, and for fun, and each stage has given me something different. I’ve been fortunate enough to play on great teams, win a state championship, and finish second at nationals. Through the wins, losses, an ACL tear, and countless hours of practice, volleyball taught me resilience, teamwork, and how to show up for others. I hope to keep this sport in my life for as long as possible so I can stay active and continue meeting new communities.

When I was younger, I started making silly videos for family events and school projects, but over time I gained a genuine appreciation for filmmaking and the entertainment industry. I’ve worked on many video projects since then, and it’s become one of my favorite creative outlets. One day if the opportunity comes, I’d love to create films or projects that inspire or impact others in a meaningful way.
