Currently, she wants to concentrate on a holistic and healthy life filled with learning. She said, “I’m really aware of how privileged I am to have the access to education and to learn more about the things that I want to learn about, and then help others in retrieving that education in communities and areas that young people aren’t able to access curriculums. It’s just a circle that keeps giving.“
