Irish dancing

I danced for 12 years doing competitions across the country, performed in different St. Patrick's Day shows, and performed at Irish Fest with my dance school. During downtime, I used to help with the little kids with new skills an routines to practice. Outside of dance, I used to work summer school teaching an Irish dance class to kids who were eager to learn.  

mission trips

When I was in high school, each summer, I would travel with my church across the country to help people who were less fortunate. Along the way, I would make friends from all over that I still hold dear to my heart today. Helping others during my mission trips helped me realize how blessed and thankful I am for everything I have in my life. My mission trips taught me hard work, also kept me grounded in my faith and friendships that I had made, and the ones I that I already had.
