She puts a lot of her time into art projects and being a good singer, as well as going to more than half of the actions in the city, with various groups such as the Coalition to Protect Chinatown & Lower East Side, stopping the tall towers that were going to be put into Chinatown! She joined the Stop Shopping Choir in 2017, now she is singing with us to 2020! We all love her very much and would do anything to hear her sing in Spanish. We should also respect that she is a very well fit woman. She also has the “best dresser award” in the choir and won 2nd places in “the goth challenge”. She is from an amazing Chilean community, we love her very much and wish a great life ahead of her.
