ATTRIBUTES
Arts
I am a Photographer in my community and have worked at a youth camp as the Photographer/Videographer. I took video clips ad pictures and then compiled them into a presentation for the campers. I have done weddings, senior pictures, events, play dates, and couples/family sessions. I use my pictures to make photo cards. I play saxophone, guitar, piano, and I sing. I am in Concert Band, Jazz Band, Marching Band, Pep Band, Worship Band, Community Choir, and Volunteer Choirs. I have competed in the All State Band Audition. I have participated in Solo & Ensemble all through high school and received Division 1 ratings. I've moved on to State Solo & Ensemble and received a Division 2 rating.
Faith
My father is a pastor of a local Wesleyan Church. I have been raised in the church and love being a part of all of the many events. I go to church every time the doors are open. I have been a photographer, planner, organizer, worship leader, worship band participant, prayer warrior, and contributor to our craft bazaar since the beginning of High School. I have been on 5+ mission trips ranging anywhere from Interlochen to Matamoros, Mexico. Through these experiences I have decided to pursue a minor in Intercultural Studies. I feel called of GOd to help those in need. I couldn't have gotten this far in life if it weren't for my Jesus.
Work
I began my first job during my sophomore year I began babysitting for our community. That summer I was hired to be the "Media Specialist" (Photographer/Videographer) at Camp Living Waters. I also worked there last summer and they have requested me again this coming summer. My junior year my mother began a daycare center in our area where I volunteered. I have continued to volunteer at my mother's daycare center this school year.
