Ever since she was young she's enjoyed writing poetry. She went through a phase in her life where her poetry was one of her few outlets. Her poetry was a way out of this world but a way to express how she was feeling. Although some of it may not be worthy of publishing, her poetry during that time is very true to who she was and what she was feeling.

She's been drawing since she could first hold a pencil in her hand (or anything else she could reach that made marks on things). Her parents often tease her that she was born with a pencil in her hand, and has gone through forests of trees.  Her art within the past couple of years have progressed greatly from what she was. Her goal has been to create photo realistic drawings. She loves to incorporate symbols and hidden messages in her drawings. Many of her drawings have some sort of a story behind them, or were done with friends or family in mind. 

When she was younger, she always dreamt of being in a choir. When she was 13 she had the opportunity of finally seeing that dream come true. Shortly after she joined the choir she and everyone in her class was promoted into Concert Choir (a more advanced choir). She remained in Concert Choir for a year and half. Once she turned 15 she joined Vocal Ensemble (a college level choir) She learned a great deal, and got a great deal of training in the two years that she was there. It was during that time that her love of music truly developed.

She's taken quite a few dance classes over the course of her life. When she was very young she took ballet, and enjoyed it immensely. When she was about 13 she took a Ballet/Tap Combo class, and at the end of the class they were able to give a performance to the parents to show them what all they'd learned. She also took an Irish Step Dance class.
