WHO AM I... REALLY
WHO AM I
On paper, I am a Communication Masters, with a Senior communications bachelor. Underneath and between the letters, I'm just a bay-area-raised girl with huge dreams for her inner and outer world.
​​​
Realizing I needed to switch to communications as a major, I also realized that my passions were rooted in how I could learn to inspire others. Interestingly enough, I believe many industries in the world are in need of more authenticity and meaningful relationships. I hope to bring this kind of warmth and light to communities across the globe.
​
​
I have always been a multifaceted individual. Unfortunately, that makes it hard to find your footing in a world that constantly forces labels on you. However, I hope that as I continue to grow in my endeavors I can use each one of my unique flares to positively shift the way people view themselves, change old perspectives, and invigorate peoples' spirits. I guess that's why I love communication studies.
MY CURRENT IDENTITY
The words that came to mind as my primary characteristics are love, detail-oriented, and hopeful. To describe myself I would think of my intelligence, my love for life, my hopeful way of approaching others and my loved ones, my creativity, and my desire for excitement and adventure.
A deeper dive into what I stand for, I’d first say authenticity, honesty, and rhythm. These are the traits that I value most within myself and think highly of people when they demonstrate these traits.
However, I don't mean rhythm as in can dance, although that is included within my definition. By rhythm, I mean having the capacity to ebb and flow with the beat (the ups and downs) of life.
I aspire to be this type of person who can dance amongst chaos as I admire it so much in others. I also feel like the lack of the capacity to have rhythm with life is a perfect summary of the not-so-great people I’ve met in life.
People who have caused me pain are causing pain to themselves. I tweeted the other day “we are all heartbroken little children inside. It’s the people who don’t perpetuate their pain that are still by my side”.
Now, I don’t blame people for their pain but I question those who choose to perpetuate their pain to others. I believe that is at the root of many social justice issues we face to this day.
IN MY WILDEST DREAMS...
In my wildest dreams, I'm an artist and a healer. I don't necessarily know in what capacity I want to heal with. But I know I want to speak my truth and allow the vulnerability of my words to touch and hopefully inspire other people. I love speaking in front of people about my truth and the challenges I’ve overcome, even though it scares me. I would love to be the author of a book that changes people's lives for the better. I’d also love to be a clothing brand owner and designer!!
​​​
Internally, however, my wildest dreams are to be happy, fulfilled, and at peace with my life as it is every single day.
I want to stay healthy physically and mentally and wish the same for my family. Whatever I’m doing, I just want to be happy, be loved, be surrounded by amazing people that I admire, and be able to express myself in whatever way I choose for the day.
​
I’d say this person acts like she’s her own freedom. She looks to herself for advice and trusts her decisions full-heartedly. She journals and laughs so hard she cries every single day. She works hard on projects/jobs that she loves and loves hard.
She reacts to challenges with patience and a birds-eye perspective and shows up for herself and her body when she’s feeling emotional. She fully loves herself as she is, and loudly loves herself with excitement. She knows how to love herself and doesn’t search for someone else to do it for her. She spends mornings and evenings with her soul tribe and calls her friends who are far away frequently. She spends a lot of time with her family and loves her dogs who are just as snuggling as her.
​
She goes to therapy whenever she feels like it but doesn’t rely on it for validation of her pain or decisions. She has a solid, loving, accepting, and incredibly close relationship with God that makes her feel alive every second of her life. She loves waking up every day and does it with grace. She’s in love with what she sees in the mirror and writes love letters to herself every once in a while. She can clearly see who she is and has developed a strong knowledge of herself. And even if her vision gets cloudy sometimes, she returns to her true spiritual, loving self not too long after the clouds pass and greats herself and her life with the passionate, eccentric, open woman that she is.
​
She spends most of her time creating music, making youtube videos, clothing designs, laughing with family and friends, taking pictures of beautiful things (including herself), traveling, and planning and attending community events/dates with her soul tribe.
DEFINING MOMENTS OF MY LIFE
Soccer
I've played soccer since I was four years old. It has undoubtedly played a significant role in my character as a young woman, my determination, and my public speaking skills.
I tore my ACL freshman year playing varsity for my dream soccer team. I ended up have 3 surgeries in total for tears in both knees. It was a challenging moment in my life, but it has made me the inspirational woman I am today. NO REGRETS. GO DRAGONS!
Friendship
Is one of the most important things in life to me. I am a relationship-driven type of person. I hope to make this more of the priority within the fields of my careers.
