Volunteer Experiences
In 2016 I volunteered at the Humane Society in Munster, Indiana for three months. During this experience I gave the animals food and water, washed their blankets and toys, and gave the cats human connection while I was there.
Outside Activities and Hobbies
I have played the piano since I was eight years old and started getting lessons. In high school, I used my skills on the piano to compete in the Indiana State School Music Association, where I performed pieces in front of judges in a regional competition. I received gold medals and rankings, which moved me on to the state competition in Indianapolis, where I also received gold medals for my performance.
​
Reading has been one of my hobbies since I was very young. When I was in middle school, I would read one novel a week. I still continue to read as much as I can, and this passion turned into writing. I write in my free time and it is a personal experience that I have yet to share.
​
I picked up my love for photography in 2015 when I saved up for my very first camera. Since then, I have specialized in nature and portrait photography. I have taken photos for clients, friends, and have sold physical prints of my work in the past.
