What's something memorable about you?
Through any rough or tough time, getitng through it with a sarcastic yet bubbly optimism is a way to remember me as people note. Though I’m always on a tight schedule, at any given time, I will manage to squeeze in something spontaneous to add the extra seasonings to life!
Why did you join MAC? / What is your goal with MAC?
The reason why i joined MAC was because I was inspired to become a role model by my soroity sister and former contestant, Rish! I know there are a lot of girls like me out there who feel like they don’t belong or feel foreign regardless on where they go, so I want to be their open reminder that it is amazing to be different and unique in their own way as I hope to be one of the few of many representations to them. My goal here with MAC is to embrace differences and create new memories with my pageant sisters as I don’t see this opportunity as competition, but more so of an opportunity for sisterhood!

Bio -
As a woman of mixed ethnicities in a country full of diversity, it constantly feels as if I am a foreigner, regardless on where I go. Because of this, there is a struggle to communicate, the fears of being made fun of and other factors that scare me in to meeting new people as the world is full of the unknown. I am an introvert (MBTI:INFJ) with the desire of wanting to meet and be able to talk to new people and hearing their stories.
