So what motivates me is just trying to be better than I was yesterday.” To expand her abilities Tiffany is also learning to play her acoustic guitar which she fondly calls ‘Gwen’.I see my parents as role model. “My mother is a rock,” she affirmed while highlighting her parents’ continuous guidance and support. “My greatest struggle has been academic wise.” She admits to having a love for geography but a greater passion for music. “High school I did pretty well.

In the end I don’t regret it because I have met a lot of people,” she explained. “Success for me is not just feeling good about myself but also making an impact on people through my music.
