CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world.

ABOUT ME

Hello! So my name is pronounced like "win-me." I am a recent graduate from UC Santa Cruz double majored in Psychology and History of Art & Visual Culture.

In my time there, I have been involved in a hip hop dance troupe, spoken word artist collective, and student organizing in a retention program on campus targeting historically under-resourced and under-represented communities.

I have been quite the busy bee the past 4 years of my life - and I am in the need of taking a break and letting myself have some fun adventures!

I currently am in Elk Grove, California right now but will be moving to San Jose in the Fall for my new job!

PHILOSOPHY

"Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you will land among the stars."
