Who inspires you?

My immigrant parents inspire me every day.

What was the best concert you've ever attended?

The best concert I’ve attended was the Demon Dayz Festival in 2018. It was insane to watch one of my favorite childhood bands, the Gorillaz, live.

What are you passionate about?

I’m very passionate about animals. I can talk about my pets all day.

What’s something you want to do in the next year that you’ve never done before?

Something that I want to do in the next year that I’ve never done before is experience new cultures by travelling outside of the United States. Travelling around Europe would probably be my ideal travelling experience.

If you could snap your fingers and become an expert at something, what would it be and why?

I would become an expert in coding. Besides being able to obtain a high paying career, I’d love to become an expert in coding because I’d love to become a part of future technology advances.
