I served on our student led worship team beginning in seventh grade as a background vocalist and training in the media/sound departments. I play piano, ukele, and as a junior in high school, inherited the student-led worship band co-leader position. As a senior, I am now a rotating musician and vocalist, but oversee the training of the upcoming student leaders, most of them juniors, to take over leadership after our senior class graduates. This is to ensure a smooth transition.

I served on staff of our school's yearbook beginning in my fifth grade year. My mother works as the Yearbook Adviser and trained me in photography and graphic design elemental principles. Over the course of the next few years, my interest in these two creative outlets grew. In seventh grade, I was able to be an adjunct photographer to our school's yearbook, and officially joining in eighth grade.  Working my way up, being training as an Editor in Chief my sophomore year, Assistant Editor my junior year, and this as the Editor in Chief.
