Hobbies

I am an artist, always have been and always will be. I have worked with many different forms of art including drawing, painting, sculpting, sewing, writing, dancing, and some film-making. As a Communication Studies major, I have a passion for public speaking and have even had some experience in acting (which is what oral interpretation of literature essentially is). I love to read, listen to music (mostly oldies and classical), and explore historical sites and art and history museums.
