Life is made up of memories, and throughout it, we remember the bright and special moments, not the automatic routine that makes up 80%. That’s why I want to fill my 20% with vibrant people, soulful conversations, and beautiful places.

I listen to all kinds of music — from old-school rap like 50 Cent, Tupac, and Biggie to powerful female voices like Rihanna, Kelly Rowland, and Aaliyah. I have a soft spot for vinyl and love the sound of Roy Orbison, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and The Shirelles. I’m a big fan of Al Pacino — honestly, I could rewatch his films every night. I also love The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. These actors have such depth; I’m definitely a little fan. When it comes to books, I’m drawn to stories and ideas that make me feel and think. I really liked The Black Obelisk by Erich Maria Remarque, The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell, and Women Who Run with the Wolves — such a powerful read
