A Little About Big Me!

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! Thanks for stopping by to learn more about me.


I’m 13 years old and totally into books (the kind you can’t put down), sketching whatever pops into my head and creating cool art with anything I can get my hands on. I also love writing stories, sewing, watching anime, learning K Pop dances, snacking and gaming.


I'm the middle child and a straight A student. My family affectionately calls me Pooh and I'm known as the household administrator and caretaker!


In recent news: I was COMPLETED a 2 week architectural  summer internship with IIDA (The Interior Design Association iida.org). EXCITING! Thank you Corgan Dallas for hosting us!


Did Someone Say Japan?!

Is it weird that I take a deep dive into learning about Japanese culture-- EVERYDAY?! Yes? OK. Then call me weird!


I have a goal of studying abroad in Japan for part of my college education, but for now I am enjoying volunteering in my community and homeschooling with my mother. 


Oh—and guess what? I’ve got a 404 day Duolingo streak learning Japanese! (July 2025)

Help Me Get To Japan Summer 2026.

It's not time for college study abroad yet-- BUT I’ve been accepted into an amazing 14-day immersive summer program in Japan (SO excited!!). Summer 2026!


Each day, I’ll have Japanese language classes in the morning, go on cultural tours in the afternoon, and experience even more awesome stuff—like food, art, and daily life in Japan!


I am hoping that 700 awesome people who visit this website will chip in just $10 each to get me there Summer 2026. 💖  As of July 1, 2025: 104 supporters have donated a TOTAL of $3,128 of my $7,000 fundraising goal. 


If you’re able to support me in reaching my goal, I’d be super grateful—and I’ll totally keep you updated on all the cool things I learn and do along the way!


ありがとう (arigatou) — thank you!!
