My favorite things... 

1. Jesus, The Bible, and Church
Jesus is the most important part of my life. He is my Savior and my Lord! His word teaches me His ways.
I also love my church! I love growth group, and I appreciate my brothers and sisters in Christ!

2. Family and Friends
I love my family! Pictured left is my brother and I performing our Duo Interpretation Speech, Pollyanna. I have so many wonderful memories with my family!
I also enjoy spending time with my friends, both in person and around the world. :)

3. Piano
I love playing piano, as well as teaching! This year I played pieces by Chopin, Mendelssohn, Prokofiev, Mozart, and others.
I also was privileged to teach several wonderful students this year! It was so amazing to watch them grow!

4. Public Speaking
As seen above, I really enjoy public speaking! While I'm not competing anymore, I still enjoy public speaking at recitals and other events! :) Pictured left is me in waiting at the National Championship with my Illustrated Oratory speech on food allergies. :)
