ABOUT ME

Opportunity. It’s the greatest blessing that God has given me in my life. As a refugee from Myanmar that immigrated to the United States at the age of 8 years old, I had the opportunity to dream big. The door of opportunity swung wide open, and I took it. Out of all the amazing opportunities that were given to me, the greatest one was the opportunity to learn. My parents sacrificed everything to make sure that I would have the opportunity to accomplish my dreams and goals. The opportunity to have an education has helped me toward accomplishing my dreams thus far.

My undergraduate experience at the number one ranked Regional College in the Midwest, Taylor University, has prepared me well. I had the opportunity to earn hands-on experience as the social media manager for the communication department for three years. As the social media manager, I learned how to create content through digital stories, and share the accomplishments, news, and updates from the communication department. One of my favorite projects was creating a promotional video, which highlighted testimonies from the students and faculty from the communication department. The power of storytelling has immense effects because stories allow people to connect, relate, and be inspired.

My passion for storytelling began in middle school when I started journaling every day. My creativity started flowing when I integrated my passion for music with writing. As a curious child, I loved listening to stories about my homeland from my grandmother. After listening to the stories, I wrote several songs and poems about my homeland combined with songs inspired from verses in the Proverbs. In high school, I was able to integrate digital storytelling in my promotion class. I learned to tell stories through creating short promotional videos regarding school announcements and events at school. Through writing script and creating content, I discovered my calling. I believe that a calling is quite simple. Since God gave me this passion and interest for a reason, with every project I take on, happiness and joy ignite in me, which further confirms that this is my calling.

I am a hardworking individual that likes to get creative with an entrepreneurial mindset. Curiosity and the willingness to learn is what drives me to get fresh perspectives. With every goal in mind, I persistently pursue it by creating opportunity for myself.
