She enjoys creating content, modeling, dancing, and spending time with her family and friends.

What is your hidden talent?

I love to dance! I’m not sure if that is much of a hidden talent though. Once a good song is on you’ll know!

What punctuation mark would you be and why?

An Exclamation Point! Because I get excited about life especially when I’m around my community!

What is your grammatical pet peeve?

This might be cringey but I don’t have one. I make mistakes and I’m very grateful for softwares and platforms that help me show up and be my best.

What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon?

At my church surrounded by the people that I love and worshipping the Lord!
