What song motivates you? “Daydreaming” by Harry Styles is my inspiration song at the moment, because he talks about how love motivates him to have bigger dreams, as well as explaining how he’s living in a daydream. As a result, he feels so happy due to the love he has already received. This encourages me, because realizing the same thing helps my own journey towards a destination.  

What are your hobbies? Dancing, because I’ve danced my whole life since I was 2 years old, and it’s something I truly love to do. Even if it’s not on a stage competing in front of an audience, this artform always been my passion. On a relevant note, I love physical activities in general, whether it’s going to the gym, doing yoga, or spending some time outside through a jog.  

What’s your country famous for? Something unique America is famous for would be its film and music industries, fields where it has always dominated. Hollywood in particular has inspired other movie industries around the world.  

Who do you admire? My mom. Not only do I appreciate how she lives her life, but I also admire how she’s taught me how to live mine. She showed me that it’s important to be kind and respectful, and most importantly, she taught me how to be a strong woman. In today's society, it's super important to be established and confident in yourself - be able to have your own opinions and have important conversations about them.  

What’s your motto in life? "Fake it till you make it," this always helps me when I’m in situations where I have no idea what’s going on, but I always pretend that I know what I’m doing which always helps me get through challenges. That motto gives me a confidence I wouldn’t normally have in those scenarios.
