Theatre, Writing, Art, Singing, Dancing, Photography
I have been singing, acting, and dancing since I could walk and talk. I have been performing in talent shows and dance recitals since the age of three and I have been involved in theatre since fifth grade, performing year after year and earning leads such as Cinderella in Cinderella and Sponge in James and the Giant Peach. I have also been creating elaborate stories since I learned how to read and write, and would create worlds with words before I knew how to them down onto paper, I have written five plays, been featured in the The Dedham Journal for my first performed piece, Hope, a one-act play based around a teenage girl, her guardian angel, and her struggles with mental health. I have written countless poems and short stories, I have published them in Literary Magazines, and I writer for the Wildcat Word, my high school's newspaper. There is nothing I value more than my hobbies, I have a little digital camera I like taking pictures of flowers and nature with.
