Experience: my first most significant experience was my volunteer organization/coordination work with Keep Austin Beautiful when I lived in Texas. It taught me a lot about organizing projects for and with community and the important of volunteerism in helping meet the needs of different communities. My second most significant experience was doing a DJ set for red bull during pride month a few years ago. I never imagined I’d get to DJ for a large event/company in this way and it was a very special experience in boosting confidence on stage.
Ideal Job in 10 Years: In ten years I would love to be running my own gallery that focuses on highlighting emerging artists in electronic music and the digital arts
