During my senior year at NYU I began to dream, plan, and save for a solo vision backpacking trip to provide myself space to really meditate on my past and future as I entered what others termed "the real world". In the lead up to the trip I reached out to my social/professional/academic/religious network to raise funds and gain advice from peers and those who have gone before me. I also worked extra hours at my part-time job, sold photography prints, and performed photoshoots in addition to the donations. • Garnered invaluable socio-cultural and personal experiences that have shaped my perspective/attitude. • Expanded my creative bandwidth by creating written and photographic content. • Freelanced as a content editor for KSBDA. • Networked with creatives and strangers abroad. • Learned to excel in constantly changing settings through times of uncertainty and instability.
