Early Life

She is a high school graduate of Poway High School. While in high school, she was exposed to Berklee College of Music during a summer program and had dreamt of pursuing her further education at the college.

However, she could not afford the tuition fees due to her financial constraints. Luckily, she received a four-year full scholarship at Berklee College, where she studied varieties of genres but ended up loving rock music. As of now, she is a senior at Berklee.
