Hi everyone my name is Yuna! I am currently working full time at an interior graphics design company and in addition a part time student studying youth justice! For a big part of my adolescent years I was deeply struggling with my mental health including anxiety, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms and PTSD. Though those years were the toughest years of my life, it has shaped me into the resilient, confident person I am today. I now have grown a passion towards finding ways to use my story and lived experiences to help those who are going through something similar. @yu_emily00
