I am studying towards a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, majoring in Public Relations and Communication. Between running a vegan/vegetarian food truck, obtaining my degree, developing my work as a visual artist, and directing an Instagram Interview series - the core principles I apply to each aspect of my life, which have cemented my sense of balance are: Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. By applying these principles to all types of daily activities I help each student facilitate a space where they can bring forward the best aspects of their unique selves and thrive under any type of pressure. Each moment is an opportunity to be better and do better for oneself- once any of my students realize that, the sky goes from being the limit to just another platform. Day by day, step by step, moment by moment - making small changes that compliment their big destiny!
