I’m currently obtaining my Associate Degree in Business Administration at Miami-Dade College.

I got into YVAC, because as a teenager who has experienced homelessness I want to use my life experiences as leverage for the young adults who are going through the same issues right now, to let them know that they are not alone and there’s people who’s willing to help.

In my free time I like to learn about other cultures.

I love to wonder and explore life with loved ones. Completely embracing a sense of wonder adds a unique and enriching dimension to life, fostering curiosity and open-mindedness. As I softly advocate for home security, I will try to create a process that highlights the inherent needs of the youth demographic and attain appropriate resources without endless justification. Through immersive art, sensitivity derived from a sense of community can be created from an emotional level.
