MySpace

MySpace was the first social media platform to launch and it started the year I was born. Little did my generation and I know how huge of an impact it will have later down the road.

The Arizona Cardinals

This was the first football game I can remember watching. This had a huge impact on my life growing up. Watching Larry Fitzgerald play made me want to do the same thing. All throughout my childhood I would play for my school team. Sadly They lost this super bowl and have not been back since but I am lucky I have the memory.

Nature

My Mom and Dad took me on lots of hikes growing up. South Mountain is my favorite place to go to. It is one of the largest city parks in the Country. Over a hundred miles of trail.

Prescott

Growing up, My grandma had a Cabin in Prescott. In 2013, my grandma took my sister and I up there to get away from the summer heat for a weekend. Coming back home we saw clouds of smoke and fire brigades rushing to get to a wildfire. We turned around and headed towards Sedona. We saw on the news that night that 19 Firefighters lost their lives. This scared me and stuck with me ever since. I have nothing but respect and honor towards any Firefighter. This inspired me to do something in my life that will help and potentially save people.

Ratatouille

Ratatouille is my favorite Pixar movie. As a kid, this made me want to cook badly and inspired me to venture out of what I normally eat. When I was finally tall enough to reach the stove, my mom and I cooked every night together. I like to think this movie is the reason why I love to cook.

Quarantine

During the time of the lockdown, I had lots of time to reflect on what makes me happy. What do I enjoy? I started looking back on all my childhood hobbies and pastimes. My dad and I had time to play some catch with the football and had time to mountain bike. This was all just the silver lining per say. There was so much tragedy behind COVID. Lots of people lost their jobs, but more tragically, lost their loved ones. This was the biggest world event to happen in my lifetime. They say pandemics like this come around once every one hundred years.

Major Change

When I started college I had a bunch of different ideas of what I wanted to pursue a degree in. I started at W.P Carey at ASU for business and realized after a few months of classes that this is not what I want to be doing with my life. My parents pushed business onto me and that was never something I wanted. After the COVID-19 pandemic, what I wanted was to be someone who can heal and treat people. That is why I am still trying my hardest to become a naturopath.
