I am a hard-working individual who absolutely loves working with children. I grew up volunteering in kid's camps, babysitting, and helping run kids programs at my church.
I love playing music and I spent my high school days getting involved in any sort of musical class that I could possibly take and even spent my lunch times volunteering with teaching music students of younger grades and giving them private lessons on how to grow as a musician as well as teaching them effective methods of practicing when they're at home.
I grew up overseas in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, so I have grown up in third-world countries which have changed the way I view the world. I am a very optimistic person who loves to make the most out of each and every situation. I like to see the beauty in every situation and place and I have learned how to communicate with people of all sorts of ages and backgrounds. I also love running around in the rain and exploring the great outdoors.
Although I am not the best at sports (I am really bad, if I were to be completely honest), I do love watching and attempting to play sports such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, and rugby. Having spent time in Papua New Guinea, I spent 5 years playing rugby everyday, thus being the only sport I can functionally play. I do love it though, and I would play it any time of any day.
I am currently pursuing counselling studies in university, hoping to work (ideally) as a child counselor or a family counselor.
