About Me

₊˚⊹♡ Countless children grow up without parents, guidance, or having someone in their corner. Without encouragement and/or positive role models, it's easy for them to lose their way. Sometimes, all it takes is one person who believes in them to change the course of their life. Just one person, to care... I've always wanted to be that one person for someone else.

🪛 I enjoy building, repairing, and restoring functionality to computers and laptops. I now fix everything from washers and dryers to phones and game consoles. 

 

♡♫♪ My first love is, and always will be, Mother Tongue - Personal Use. The weeping violin, the furious electric guitar and the victorious trumpet. Music speaks to me without needing a single word.

 

My experience in the foster system has instilled in me a deep sense of empathy and a strong work ethic. I understand the importance of supporting others through positive and meaningful interactions.

I genuinely enjoy helping students and staff and seeing the smiles is truly rewarding. 😊
