Hey, my name is Yasmarlin Morel (pronounced Yas-mar-leen). I don’t really have any nicknames, so just call me by my name. My birthday is on September 6 and I use she/her pronouns. I’m majoring in Real estate. I was born and raised in The Bronx, and I have never lived anywhere else. Both of my parents were born in the Dominican Republic and they moved to this city to give me and my older sister a better life. I have 8 birds! I know that’s crazy, and if anyone is asking, no, they don’t make any noise at night. In my free time I love to crochet, read, or listen to music. My favorite artists at the moment are Brent Faiyaz, Lauryn Hill, and Jhene Aiko. Whenever I meet someone new, I’m pretty shy, but once I get comfortable, I’m outgoing. I’m excited to get to know you all this semester:)
Here is a picture of one of my parrots. His name is Coco.

Welcome Yasmarlin. What kind of books do you like? Could you list a few of your favorites? I am curious.
