About Me
I LOVE concerts! My favorite genre of music is punk rock, but I honestly love a little of everything. My music taste takes after my dads, so he has taken me to a LOTT of shows of bands we both enjoy. My favorite was Alkaline Trio and Bad religion in 2021. I love my dad so much, he's the best concert buddy <3
I am the oldest of three, and I am very close to both my brother (Elliott), and my sister (Quinn). They are so annoying sometimes, but I love them. My parents are divorced, but that only broadened my family. I spend a lot of quality time with them on both sides, and I love my family more than anything.
I have been bullet journaling for 7 years now, and my journal is my absolute prized possession. It's basically a planner that I draw out myself. Each month is a new theme. I started doing it to get more organized and track my habits, and I've been hooked ever since.
This year, I am suspesion lead of the Michigan Baja Racing project team. We design and build an off-roading car to compete in competitions over the summer! All of last year I spent close to 12 hours a week in the shop making parts and working on the car. I love this group and I have learned SOO MUCH from it.
This summer, I am studying abroad in Prague, and I've really discovered my love for travel. It is incredible to see history first hand, and experience differnet cultures. I am so grateful for each new place I've been able to explore. I got a lot of scholarships that allowed me to do this, so if you want to study abroad, but are worried about costs, give me a shout!
I LOVE MY FRIENDS. My core four is Alana, Violet, and Nandini. And can you guess where I met them?? Yup, 3rd floor mojo in WISE RP. I spent most days with these girls, and I think I slept in Alana and Nandinis room more than my own. There's nothing I like more than a meal and yapping, and trust me, they know how to chat. Alana is abroad with me, but I cannot wait to see everyone on campus!
Fun Facts!
I love making cards for friends and family. Here are all the Christmas cards I made last year.
I like reading, I just often lack the energy to do so. My fav book is American Gods by Neil Gaiman
I make jewelry, and my hope is to set up an etsy shop in the next year.
I LOVE MY DOG! This is Velasco, but we call him V. I also have another dog, a cat, and a gecko.
