I am who I am.
I'm the kind of person that likes to stray away from the norm. I try everything and have found many interests. Most of all, I am a very creative person. There isn't a single thing I do that doesn't require my creative talents: vocalist, violinist, woodburning, clothing designer and creator, sketching, photography, dance (tap, ballet, and jazz), acting, academics (shocker) etc. Most of all, I believe in embracing every opportunity. Some of my greatest experiences have been things I never thought I would enjoy. Basically, I love being me and I love having fun at the same time. I'm quite a goofy person.
