She describes herself as a passionate person in her values and morals and is totally committed to fulfilling her dreams while contributing and playing her part to make this world a better place for future generations to enjoy.
She feels strongly about issues of racial discrimination, world poverty, social injustice, climate change and conservation of wildlife and the environment.
