About Me
I love to collage and create artwork out of trash, sustainability is important to me. I also like going on long runs and exploring outdoors- anything active or adventurous and I'm in! I am the eldest sibling so I'm very comfortable with organising games for people and ideas for what to do. Art History and creative writing are other interests of mine, and I can play the piano. Activism is another crucial part of my life, and I often attend protests and raise awareness for important causes.
