How I got Here

I was originally planning on becoming a medical doctor. While I was performing well academically, I was miserable inside, so I decided to take a risk and pursue psychology, a discipline I was passionate about.

Although it was extremely difficult to start over after investing so much time and energy in medicine, it was the best decision for me. Along the way, I’ve had to overcome anxieties, traumas, and doubts in order to get to where I’m at today.

The struggles I went through instilled in me a deep sense of empathy and provided me with wisdom I might not have gained otherwise. I strive to bring these two qualities to my new path as an artist, healer, mover, and writer.
