Listen to the clatter of fingertips upon the keys, new worlds coming to life, springing from my mind.

Hear the shuddering breath of the audience as darkness takes them and the curtain glides open.

Watch the brush fly across the paper, color blooming on the pressed white snow. those reckless swirls of paint tell the tale of my heart.

My passions lie in the arts- they are my self-expression, a place where I can create beauty from nothing. I write novels, short stories, and poetry; film screenplays; act, dance, and sing in productions at a local academy; am studying and learning to eventually teach a hapkido-based blend of martial arts; and head my own belly dance troop.

I attend a passion-based alternative to school, called E3, where I'm matched up with mentors in the community to learn how to succeed at what I'm passionate about.
