As an artist, I strive for awe.

Photography helps me capture a moment in time. It helps me identify the beauty I see in life. Painting, drawing, and sketching are my passions. They help me relax and focus on what I love about this world. I am a connoisseur of the arts-particularly those created during the Renaissance. The works of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Raphael, and Donatello inspire me to create my art. Like them, I use realistic approaches, but I often draw my inspiration from nature. I love spending time outside and imitating the immaculate designs as my own representation. I am an artist.

As an athlete, I strive for success.

I practice hard every day that I am on the volleyball court to better myself and my team. I have the desire to train, compete, and win. Volleyball is an outlet. After a long day at school I am able to let loose and get my blood circulating. I found a way to stay healthy while having fun by the use of my natural and practiced talent. I jump and block, and shuffle and swing like a swift super jock. Volleyball has taught me many things, such as confidence, composure, and leadership. I am an athlete

I am not defined by only my artistic and athletic abilities, but they have a major impact on the way I live my life. I see beauty in the little things, and understand that the world is a competitive place. I am influenced artistically by nature, and athletically by competition.
