Music

Piano Image

I started learning piano in kindergarten and have since enjoyed playing to relieve stress or clear my mind. Over the years, I have added French horn, trumpet, guitar, and violin. Along with more instruments, I have grown to see the value in playing with a group, joining jazz and pep bands, practicing with a local concert band, and playing with friends.

Tech Theater

In 7th grade, I had the opportunity to take tech theater, a class that combined my love for music, building, and technology. Trying out different crews like lights, shift, sound, props, etc., I quickly fell in love with sound. Since sophomore year, I have been responsible for the sound crew and technology for our school's major productions.

Sailing

My father used to race sailboats, so my first sailing lesson came when I was 8. From there, I attended sailing school in the summers until I had enough knowledge to start teaching. Since age 14, I've been an instructor at the Leland Yacht Club. Sailing is by far my favorite sport, and I hope to continue in and after college for fun.
