Hobbies

Volunteering and community evolvement - Part of my school's volunteer committee, volunteered at Hobe Sound Library, Treasure Coast Food Bank, and for Laurie Gaylord, Superintendent of Martin County Schools campaign in 2012 and continue to look for ways I can help out in my community.

Blogging - I have my own personal blog where I write all the ups and downs of living life with a "disability" though I call it a different way of life.

Traveling - My hope is to visit all fifty of the United States of America before I turn fifty years old. Also, want to travel throughout Europe and the rest of the continents as much as I possibly can.

Photography - Ever since I was a young child, I had an eye for photography and went to state with one of my art projects. Today, I love capturing life's moments on my iPhone camera or my Canon PowerShot camera.

Dancing - I have discovered a new passion when I stepped on the dance floor and started Ballroom dancing back in 2017. I have loved it to this day and can follow my dance instructor through a cha-cha, fox-trot, rumba, salsa, swing, tango, and waltz.
