Driven by passion and purpose, Syrenia has used social media to overcome international barriers, spread awareness, and empower others through her work and content. Syrenia's passion for social work developed from issues she experienced in adolescence. She found refuge in journaling and helping others, which led to the creation of her first major project, the Safe Space Guided Mental Health Journal, which is now available on Amazon. Her focus is on empowering others to live their best lives. Syrenia coaches individuals to change their mindsets to think outside of the box. She hopes to create a safe space for those who don't quite fit in with the societal norms. Also, she advocates for minorities and creates a safe space for individuals who are stigmatized by mental health, marginalization, and disadvantage.
