DESCRIBE YOUR CHILDHOOD/GROWING YEARS
I grew up in a household where I was always loved and supported, I believe mainly because I am the youngest of five siblings my family felt a great level of responsibility to ensure I am well taken care of.
At the age of 13 that’s where the energy of curiosity arrived. I found myself so inquisitive and always wanting to explore. Intrigued by the endless possibilities that started to become present in my understanding of life and potential.
