Hobbies

During my free time I love to spend as much time as I can with my family. They truly are everything to me and I can't imagine where I would be without their support. I also love to draw and animate as much as I can because, although my current occupation is incredibly different, I still want to eventually  move back into a career in the creative field and teach all I know to those who need the same support I did as a young artist. If i'm not drawing or with my family, I am most likely sewing, I have been working on a huge cross-stitching project for the past year and I love it!
