Why did you apply for Next on Stage?

My friends had participated in it previously, and it looked like a lot of fun and a great challenge!

What charity did you pick and why?

I chose the World Food Programme, as it is a charity I have been supportive of for quite some time now. As an eating disorder survivor, I know how important quality food and nourishment is for everyone. I want to see a world where no one ever suffers from malnourishment and/or starvation!

Share a fun fact about yourself!

I am also passionate about languages/linguistics! I am proficient in Spanish and conversational in Portuguese and American Sign Language! I am going to minor in teaching english to speakers of other languages in college.
