“I play the flute and am passionate about it because of how it makes me feel. I am able to express myself and bring joy to myself and community through playing. I love that music is universal and anyone can participate in it,” Reyes said, describing herself as a team player. “I don’t enjoy calling the shots but can lead by example, so I identify as a team player. I am able to demonstrate the respect I have for others. I love having the input of others and working together.
