spamming my Instagram followers with photos of my dog Ralph, attending class, completing homework and having way too much fun at my job Divaz Boutique. Come say hi!

I was born…

a demon child who would cry at the drop of a hat, sorry mom. I love you lots.

My favorite thing about Arizona…

THE SUNSETS. There is nothing quite like the sun setting in Arizona, I’ve never seen anything like it.

I’m listening to…

a lot of angsty music currently, I’m in a stage of my life where every song is somehow relatable and probably written about what I’m experiencing. Overall though my favorite artists include: The Strokes, The National, Fleet Foxes and I’m sorry but I’m on the Drake bandwagon hard.

My family…

is so incredibly supportive, I don’t know what I did in my past life to deserve this but my mom Teresa might ACTUALLY be Mother Theresa.

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…

probably my grandmother, she was a congresswoman in The Philippines and I don’t think I was ever old enough to understand how vast her wisdom was before she passed. But Elon Musk would be cool too.

One thing I cannot live without…

my best friend Andiyah, shout out to you homegirl and the one time we drove through a blizzard in Massachusetts because we wanted Kentucky Fried Chicken THAT badly. You’re my soul sister.

When I was younger, I wanted to be…

an actress, LOL. Who didn’t? I just loved the idea of getting to play pretend for a living.

I’m inspired by…

the every day struggle. I’m not very religious but I’m a firm believer that if there is a God he gives us the hardest battles because we are the strongest warriors. If you can overcome whatever life throws at you there is no doubt you are going to be rewarded.

The one person who motivates me is…

my brother without a doubt. Sure, maybe he was the golden child but that doesn’t detract from the fact that he is the hardest working person I know. Which is reassuring because I know I’ll always have a couch to crash on if things don’t work out.

If I could change anything in the world, it would be…

I know I should probably wish for world peace, but let’s be real the world would be a much better place if there weren’t mosquitoes.

The perfect day would be…

having absolutely no responsibilities, maybe taking a day trip with my friends where no one judges me for eating copious amounts of food, lol. Maybe doing a little shopping because let’s be real, retail therapy is a real healing tool with nothing but positive attributes. I’m just waiting for my health insurance to cover it.

My first job was…

a Taco Bell, never forget where you came from kids.

My favorite escape…

I was a serious ballet dancer for about 15 years and to this day I can’t think of a better way to get your mind off whatever you’re going through. Or traveling somewhere new!

My life…

parallels that of a soap opera. Seriously, where’s my TV show?

I’m currently working on…

my sense of autonomy. My goal is to be proud of who I am and happy with the person I have become. There is nothing more important than being confident in who you are.

Always…

be nice to people, even if you don’t think they deserve it.

Never…

say no to new experiences.

Favorite quote…

“Everything heals. Your hearts heals. The mind heals. Wounds heal. Your happiness is always going to come back. Bad times don’t last”

Biggest Dream…

to be able to give back all the love and support my mother has given to me growing up. I want to be successful enough to give her a stress-free life.

My Pet Peeves…

the inability for people to empathize with their peers. You never know what someone is going through. Treat people with kindness! You could make their day.
