Three Questions With Maykou Ly

- I enjoy spending time with family. Particularly my sisters, where we take day trips on the weekends to explore nearby cities or to try new restaurants.

- I would like to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid for a day. I think it would be such an amazing experience to be able to breath underwater and explore the ocean floor.
