- Music - I am a musician I love to create and write my own songs, and music, and I am adept at multiple musical instruments, including Drumming, Guitar and Bass, and music theory My passion for music and history intertwines through my appreciation of storytelling, cultural expression, and the historical significance of music in society I enjoy exploring how music reflects historical events and emotions, using it as both a creative outlet and an educational tool to engage and inspire others
- Video Gaming - I love to play video games, especially those with a deep emphasis on historical events This helps broaden and engage my own personal understanding and love of history, such that in the classroom setting, I can draw upon the experience and knowledge I have gained from these games It also helps me relate to students who share this passion
- Fishing - I have a love of the outdoors, particularly when it comes to enjoying the hobby of fishing I am a novice at it, but have dreams of being an active fisherman later in life I hope to be able to share my love for fishing with students, perhaps as an extracurricular activity by way of a club, or group
