I believe the best thing about Wilmington is how close we are to a diverse number of places. We can hop on a train to Philly, DC, and New York, or jump in the car to go to New Jersey\/Delaware beaches, or to go skiing!

For my birthday in 2025, I wanted to get my lashes done, and so that&#8217;s what I did. Once I was there, the lash artist asked if she could take a video of me and post it on social media. A few days later she posted the video, and when I first saw it, I wasn&#8217;t much of a fan. I didn&#8217;t think I looked good in the video, but a lot of people seemed to like it. The comment section was just everybody complimenting me, which I really appreciated, and it got to the point where I got scouted. In the past, I\u2019ve gotten the comment, &#8220;You should model&#8221;, but I never thought I could really do it until I got scouted from that video.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are 3 interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. I love to crochet; I started around 2020, when everyone was stuck in the house and I wanted to learn something new, but once I got the basics down, I stopped. Until around 2022, when a friend wanted a hat with cat ears, and I told her I could make it, but I needed to test it out first, so I did. Once it was done, I ended up really liking it, and I was so proud of myself! After that, you couldn&#8217;t stop me from making anything.<br \/>\n2. I love iced matcha lattes, but more than the average person. I like to take it a step forward and make everything from scratch. I make my own syrup from scratch, which takes about 40 minutes per batch. Also, every morning, I make my own hand-whipped cream\/cold foam. A little secret is that I will add a bit of the syrup I made into it, just to make everything all tie in together.<br \/>\n3. I love to collect things. I love anything to do with blind boxes and being surprised by what I get inside. You will always see me with a bag charm or keychain; that is one of my essentials. My favorite figures to collect are &#8220;Sonny Angel&#8221; and any blind-boxes to do with &#8220;Sanrio&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy second birthday was special because my dad got me a dog, which was a Chihuahua, and that started my craze for Chihuahuas.
