Inspiration

The person I look up to is my oldest sister, Maiko. She is supportive during tough times, dependable when I need aid, and my built-in best friend.

    HOBBIES

    Art & Crafts
  • I enjoy charcoal drawing, sketching, painting, and making ceramics, but my favorite of them all is collaging.

  • Creative story writing
  • "I am currently working on a novel about a young veterinary technician and a newly graduated dental hygienist, both facing newfound responsibilities as they navigate the challenges of World War I in Europe.

  • Thifting
  • My earliest memory of thrifting was going to a thrift store back in Washington with my mom and finding Barbies in plastic bags. It is a part of me now, and you can find treasure for a fraction of the price! Although it is cost-effective, I am all for sustainability.

  • Reading
  • I am actively building up my library for my dream house in the future!

Goals

  • After obtaining my degree in Art History, I want to build up my experiences to one day work at well-known art institutions such as the St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET), or the Art Institute of Chicago.
  • I enjoy traveling and hope to travel the world. For now, I would love to explore all of Europe and visit my mother's home country, the Philippines.
  • I want to finish the short novel I am working on and share it with others!
