Artwork by Michela Brittis-Tannenbaum

My life is an amalgamation of experiences from different people and places  I have encountered. From where I was born in Guilin, China, to where my adoptive family lives now in Bedford Hills, New York. From being able to meet the Italian person I was named after, to going on trips with my closest friends down to Puerto Rico. Even including my dreams of exploring the streets of Eastern Asian countries like Japan and South Korea. They’ve all influenced me to be the person who I am today, and I’m eager to see what experiences I will gain in the future.
