If I could describe myself with one phrase: a development junkie. I love finding new ways to develop myself and those around me.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking native dishes, reading philosophy-based books, and painting vases with acrylic paint.
My favorite line from a poem is: "For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it." - Amanda Gorman
I am from a low-income family and I am determined to relieve the potential loans and financial burdens my education may launch on my family.
Thank you for viewing my Bold.org profile!
