My passion for animals grew stronger when I met Luna, my rescue dog, who taught me the transformative power of love and second chances.

Over the years, I have dedicated time to volunteering at local shelters — walking dogs, helping with socialization, supporting adoption events, and advocating for responsible pet ownership.

I believe that every animal deserves dignity, care, and the chance to find a loving home. Through every small act of service, from shelter work to daily care for Luna, I strive to be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Skiing has always been a family tradition and a personal passion. From early trips with my father and brother to carving my own way down new and challenging slopes, skiing represents both freedom and perseverance.

It’s a chance to bond with loved ones, to embrace nature’s beauty, and to challenge myself physically and mentally in new ways. Every run — from fresh powder mornings to difficult black diamond trails — is a reminder that growth happens when you push past comfort zones and embrace the adventure.

I discovered water polo at the age of eight and immediately fell in love with its challenges and rewards.

What started as an exciting new sport quickly became a way of life, teaching me the true meaning of resilience, discipline, and teamwork.

Through years of dedication, early mornings, intense workouts, and countless competitions, I earned honors such as CIF Co-Player of the Year, Orange County Water Polo Player of the Year, and five Junior Olympics national championships across different age groups.

Water polo instilled in me a mindset that extends beyond sports: success is built on persistence, trust in the team, and the courage to keep pushing even when the odds seem overwhelming.
