What is a health issue that you are really passionate about, and why?

A health issue I'm passionate about is improving healthcare accessibility for the elderly population. As people age, navigating the healthcare system becomes increasingly difficult--whether it's due to mobility limitations, transportation barriers, digital technology gaps, or complex medical needs. Working as a CNA in a nursing home facility, I've seen firsthand how older adults often struggle to understand their treatment plans, or afford the care they need. Creating an age-friendly system can make a real difference. I'm passionate about advocating for more accessible and coordinated care models that support elderlies in maintaining their independence and quality of life.

What is a show that you've watched, a book you've read, or music you've enjoyed recently?

Recently, I watched The White Lotus and I thought the plot line was pretty interesting. I've also been listening to a lot of country and folk music, especially The Lumineers!
