Hey, 👋🏻 My sister gave this plant to me years ago because she was having a hard time getting it to live. I have been successful in getting it to live and grow, but I do not know what kind of plant it is. My sister didn’t know either. Can anyone help me identify this plant please? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Looks to me like a Croton Mammy (Codiaeum variegatum)
