Growing up in the heart of Silicon Valley, Santa Clara, CA, I lived with my mom, dad, and younger brother, Nicholas, along with our numerous pets. Family is one thing I will always hold close to my heart, being blessed and fortunate enough to have such an amazing, supportive family.

From a young age, I have had a strong appreciation for the outdoors, animals, and exploring my more creative side. Making a mess with all of my arts and crafts, thinking it was a masterpiece at the early age of four, I still cherish exploring my creative side. Whether that's writing for a class, journaling in my free time, taking photos, painting, designing, or even drawing—these are all strong passions of mine. Getting outdoors is something else I enjoy, from walking my new beloved puppy, Baron, to getting a coffee and walking along the beach.
