Summary

I’ve always been drawn to performance and storytelling. My journey began at nine years old when I started modeling for a clothing store, and continued through school where I joined drama and discovered a love for the stage. Public speaking and uplifting others have always come naturally to me, and I’m passionate about connecting with audiences through media. I’m now focused on building a career in the media and radio space, where I can bring energy, creativity, and authenticity to every project.
