I keep a karaoke mic in my car at all times and my go-to song is Selena’s Dreaming of You. I’m a big crafter and am always working on projects with floral embroidery, collaging, and painting. I have had pink hair since 2020. I grew up in the Bay, but I’ve been told I have Orange County energy. My favorite Filipino food is sinigang na hipon and I am always in the mood for a sweet treat.

Fun Fact
I find peace and joy being surrounded by nature and animals (especially my dogs). One of my dreams is to own land and have a small farm to live a slower, peaceful life. Also, I always feel the most at home being near the ocean and beach. I grew up always being near the beach so the ocean always grounds me.
