Interests: I’m truly passionate about music! I play the piano, guitar, and drums, and I recently picked up a saxophone—what an adventure that has been! My love for creativity extends beyond music; I'm a huge fan of manga (I’d love some recommendations!), and I find joy in food, pop culture, fashion, cosplay, and makeup. With 14 siblings, our home is always filled with the sound of instruments and laughter, so you might hear from them occasionally! Currently, I’m juggling my time between earning my MA in School Counseling, learning Portuguese and Chinese, and working full-time. It’s a challenge, but I believe in the power of perseverance and finding balance. If you're on a similar journey, remember: every small step counts, and it's okay to embrace the struggle as part of the process. Let's keep inspiring each other to reach our goals while enjoying the ride!
