How to pronounce my name

My first name, Na, sounds like “Nah” with a downward intonation. It's written as 娜, which means elegant or graceful.
My last name, Liu, is pronounced like the English word “Leo” (the lion), with a soft and short “o” sound. 刘 refers to culture or characters on the left and an ancient type of weapon on the right – strong and enduring.
So you can think of me as “gracefully strong” — I respond to both “Na” and "Leona" when being called.

I enjoy playing the piano, singing, swimming, and Olympic fencing—a sport that's surprisingly perfect during the pandemic, as people wear masks and keep their distance… with swords :) (Just kidding!)
I was born in Xinjiang, a vibrant region in Central Asia often called the "Land of Fruits, Songs, and Dance". Feel free to take a look at the scenery below- you're always welcome to visit my hometown!
