I am an avid gamer, delving into virtual realms and conquering my favorite challenge, the Platinum Trophy. Collecting retro video games is not just a hobby to me, but a journey through gaming history. Additionally, I channel my creativity into crafting fun cosplays, sharing quality moments with my family, volunteering for environmental clean up events, and constructing imaginative worlds with Legos.
