Welcome to my world
Biography
At just 14 years old, I’m already making waves as a college overachiever and a young author with a unique perspective on the world of social media. Diagnosed with autism, I’ve found creative outlets through my online presence, using social media as both a platform for personal expression and a valuable coping mechanism. My journey is a testament to resilience, as I balance the challenges of academia with the complexities of growing up, all while managing my neurodivergence.
Currently, I created a book on the history of social media, tracing its evolution from its humble beginnings to the powerful global force it is today. I explore how social media has impacted communication, identity, and societal norms. At the heart of my work is a passion for encouraging others—especially young people—to create meaningful, thoughtful content that transcends trends and fosters genuine connection.
For me, social media isn’t just a platform for likes and followers; it’s become an important tool for self-expression and a safe space for working through personal struggles. My own channel has been instrumental in navigating life’s ups and downs, with content that evolves alongside my growth and experiences. Through my videos, I share not just the triumphs but also the challenges, creating a space where others can find comfort and solidarity.
As I continue to develop both my book and my online presence, I’m dedicated to fostering an online community that promotes kindness, understanding, and meaningful dialogue. I believe that social media can—and should—be used to support mental health, connect with others authentically, and create positive change.
