Why do you want to become an egg donor?
I’ve always loved helping people and I think the idea of helping other women with a chance to have children who are unable to is a gift. As I’ve questioned having children myself, I believe that helping other women with the gift of life is something I’d love to do. As one of my closest friends recently found out that she will most likely have a hard time conceiving, it broke my heart to see her so upset as she is one of those women who are born to be a mother. If I have the ability to help infertile women like her fill that void in their life and give them happiness, I’d love to do so.

Anything special you'd like to tell us about you?
I enjoy volunteering in my spare time. I work at an animal shelter/sanctuary every Sunday caring for cats and dogs with special needs. I am very passionate about animals. I help clean, medicate, socialize, feed and nebulize the animals. I also love to travel! I love experiencing different cultures. My latest trip was to Colombia. It was an absolutely amazing experience. I flew down by myself to meet my father. I got to experience the beaches, the mountains, the markets, etc. I believe trips like this really help shape you as a person!

Who are the most important people in your life?
My father is the most important person in my life. As well as my grandmother. My father could not be a better parent. As cliche as it sounds, he is my hero. He is my best friend, someone I can always count on and someone I can always be open with when asking for guidance or advice without any judgment. He has taught me to live life to the fullest and that you will make mistakes in life but to view them as a lesson instead. I do not know where I would be without him. My grandmother is also a major part of my life. She always has my best interest in mind and will always offer her honest opinion. I deeply value and appreciate her.

What are your special talents?
I’m very talented when it comes to anything technological. I am advanced in computer software and am very knowledgeable when it comes to electronics. I am also very talented when it comes to attention to detail. I also enjoy the art of makeup. I do makeup for family and friends for photo shoots, prom, etc.
-
What is the one change you wish to see in the world?
Where do I start? I’d love to see people appreciate the earth more and put a better effort towards keeping it alive and healthy. I wish people would understand the extremity of littering, pollution, and climate change has on the earth. I am that person that will pick up someone else’s trash and take it to the correct place. I always recycle and was actually in charge of the recycling program in high school.
-
What would you consider to your greatest strengths?
I feel very confident that I am a hard worker and very self motivated. I always try to put my best self forward at all times, always wanting to help others and strive to be a Good Samaritan. I love meeting new people and have great communication skills.
-
What is your favorite dish to consume?
I would say my favorite dish to consume would be a surf n turf combo of a filet mignon and a lobster tail, steamed broccoli and a baked potato. As well as any dessert. That is my all time favorite meal that I treat myself with often whether I cook it at home or dine out.
-
What is something you've accomplished in life that you are most proud of?
I’m very proud of my independence, self sustainability and ability to further my education while also working a full time job. I’ve always been very mature for my age and I pride myself on that. I’m proud of never giving up on myself and trying my best at anything that comes my way.
-
What is a book you love?
As naive as it sounds, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my all time favorite reads. I believe the first time I read it, I read it in two sittings. It captivated me which is rare as I usually read more non-fiction / self help versus fiction.

Who are you closest to in your family and why?
I am closest with my father. We are very similar and he is always the one who if there for me no matter what nor when. He will give me his best advice without judgment. He also inspires me to not take life so serious all of the time. He is someone I can talk to, laugh with, travel with, learn from and seek advice from.
-
What was the defining moment that made you choose your field of study/career path?
I made a bold move to take a year off after high school (a gap year). Many of my friends made me feel uncomfortable or excluded for doing this but I needed time to figure out my passion and career path. I became involved with a social media marketing company and worked there for about a year. This is where I became involved with marketing and fell in love. I love that it is a broad subject and you can go many different directions with it. I learned different aspects of marketing and knew that it was the field of study that I wanted to go into.
-
If you could tell the intended parents who are considering you one thing, what would it be?
I would tell them that I am more than excited and honored to help them with the gift of life. I would wish them the best of luck with their future and hope that I helped them fulfill such an important place in their life. It brings me so much joy to see others happy and to know that I am personally helping someone obtain such happiness would fill my heart.

Places you'd love to travel
As traveling is a passion of mine, there are so many places I cannot wait to explore. I would love to visit Bali, Italy, Australia, and Rio de Janiero. I've recently visited Santa Marta, Palomino, and Playa de Los Angelos in Colombia, South America which was an amazing experience that I will always cherish. I love experiencing new cultures, hiking, visiting landmarks, exploring new areas, etc.
-
What are your favorite words to live by?
A couple of my favorite quotes would be "I am mine before I am ever anyone else's" and "Don't forget to live." I've always been a big supporter of the golden rule as well meaning treat others how you would want to treated.

Sports/Dance/Hobbies you enjoy
I enjoy photography whether I am behind the camera or in front of it. I do occasional photoshoots for local brands and just for fun. I also love taking pictures whether it’s of nature or for friends. I also really enjoy creating and editing short vlogs of the places I’ve traveled to. I love playing volleyball and enjoy swimming as well! I’ll play occasional volleyball at local places with friends. I also enjoy spending my time at the animal shelter. It’s very relaxing and makes me feel good to be helping the community in my spare time. I also enjoy yoga as well. I am relatively new to yoga but I have found it to be a new hobby I really enjoy!

Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I have both my short term goals and long term goals in mind at all times. I aim to have a positive, successful career in marketing for a real estate company or professional athletic team in either Florida or California. I aim to love my job as I think this is very important. I want to have a nice condo or high rise apartment. I see myself being very self sustainable, independent and happy. I see myself making my parents proud. As I’ve tossed around the idea of having kids, I would like to see myself in a happy, supportive relationship with someone who also values success, happiness and independence. I see myself having a couple cats and a couple dogs. I see myself regularly donating to local animal shelters and still giving back to the community. I see myself having traveled to all of the places on my bucket list. I am excited for the my future holds.
