In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, binge-watching new shows, and just relaxing with some music playing. I also enjoy cooking and baking whenever I get the chance, and messing around with new ideas and recipes, no matter how they turn out. I love being able to be involved in the Wesley and enjoy being around all the people involved! I can't wait for this next year and getting to know all the new people around!
