I am 36 years old. At GiGi\u2019s Playhouse, I have participated in tutoring, cooking class, Ambassadors program, and GiGiFIT. My favorite program at GiGi\u2019s is all of the special events.\u00a0 I like to spend time with friends, going to fun events, and traveling around the world. A fun fact about me is that I like to write songs. <\/span><span class=\"x_eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_paragraph\"><span class=\"x_normaltextrun\">I am a part of the first group of GiGi Ambassadors. In this program, I am looking forward to learning about marketing strategies, social media, and advertisement. I am looking forward to being an Ambassador because I would like to represent GiGi\u2019s Playhouse. I want people to accept me for who I am. I would like to go into the community to help with fundraising and bring in more donations to the playhouse. One goal I have for the future is that I would like to write my own music, have a business, and work in creative advertising for GiGi\u2019s Playhouse. I would also like to help make videos to promote GiGi\u2019s Playhouse\u00a0 in the community.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"x_eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thank you Farzin for your wonderful insight and letting us get to know you more! We are so honored to have you a part of so many programs. He brings such enthusiasm to each and every program you are involved in.
