About (request update)

Current Whereabouts:

Right now, I’m deeply into songwriting, vocal performance, and exploring how music connects to mental health. I’ve been writing original songs that reflect my personal experiences and emotions, and I’m working on building confidence as a performer. I’m also into community building—creating spaces where people can open up, be real, and heal through creative expression. Outside of that, I love musical theatre, journaling, and learning more about how psychology and music therapy work together

Life & Professional Aspirations:

My dream is to become a music therapist and educator who uses the power of music to help people—especially young people—heal from trauma, express their emotions, and build confidence. After experiencing grief, depression, and anxiety in my own life, I learned how transformative music can be. I want to create safe, creative spaces in schools and communities where students feel seen, heard, and understood. By earning my degree in Music and later studying Psychology, I plan to develop programs that blend emotional wellness with the arts. My ultimate goal is to open a youth center that offers counseling, creative workshops, and performance opportunities to inspire healing and self-love.
