About me

Hi there! I grew up on Long Island with two younger brothers. When I was younger, I used to be super shy. I liked to do a lot of activities on my own. I was very into doing arts and crafts when I was at home. I was always painting, drawing, making origami, etc. I was also very into music. I played the cello in school and took piano and guitar lessons outside of school. I would practice every day and try to create my own music (it wasn't very good, unfortunately).
I am currently a full-time online student studying human services. I will be getting my Associate's degree in December. In the spring semester, I hope to transfer to CUNY SPS to complete my Bachelor's degree in psychology online. Once I am finished with my education, I hope to work in foster care or child protective services. I was adopted when I was 6 years old and my goal has always been to do work that will help children who have gone through similar experiences that I did.
While I have been in school (before and during college), I have tried to get experience with children of many different backgrounds/ages. I started babysitting as soon as I was old enough. In high school, I decided to volunteer at Cohen Children's Hospital. I was there for about a year. This was an amazing experience. Although it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do in the future, I was able to experience working with children that were going through a tough situation. The feeling of being someone that was able to put a smile on their faces on a hard day was super fulfilling and I hope to be able to do that in the future.
