About Me

Hi!

Welcome to Young and Unheroic! 

I’m so grateful to have your company! Let me introduce myself…

I am half-Mexican and half-Japanese and I was born in Australia. I am currently in my first year of vet school at the University of Sydney. I was also an artistic roller skater for 10 years. 

My favourite things to do are spending time with my family and making memories with our beautiful dog, Missy! She is a kind-hearted 17-year-old Australian Terrier x Maltese, and she's my best friend! 

My motto in life is 'Gratitude, Grit, and God'. I believe that all the trials and tribulations in our lives are an opportunity to learn and grow stronger.

There’s so much more to tell you but instead of explaining it all here, I hope the articles I write on this blog will give you a deeper insight into who I am, the lessons I’ve learnt from my mistakes, and what I encounter as I ride this roller coaster of life!
