I am a senior at Forest Ridge and will be graduating in June. I am pursuing an Arts Endorsement, which corresponds to my lifelong love of the arts. At Forest Ridge, I have been able to engage in multiple art forms, including ceramics, painting, print making, dance, and singing. I have given back to the community by serving as a costume designer for our theater program. Art is a way to express myself and to connect with others. Through the arts endorsement pathway, I have learned to let myself make mistakes more easily. I have become more creative, exploring numerous genres and have challenged myself as an artist. Thank you for visiting my portfolio.

I am a senior at Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart. My favorite experience in high school was being able to travel to Greece with the choir and sing in the International Choir Festival.

I enjoy the fabric arts, fashion design, and costuming. I learned how to sew when I was in first grade. During the Pandemic, I learned how to knit and crochet. Later, I went to a weekly Knitter's Night at a store near my home. I became friends with the shop owner and was able to help during her knitting classes and also by organizing and winding yarn at the store.

My family is very important to me. My grandfather, who we call "Beau-Paw," lives nearby. He is the kindest person I have ever known. We both love books and like to go to the bookstore together. He used to be a Shakespeare professor and when I was younger, he would tell me about the plays.

I grew up with animals. I wanted a Samoyed for many years. I read books on the breed and found a breeder in Russia. When I was in sixth grade, her son came from Russia and brought us a puppy, Zvezda (Star). He only spoke Russian. I am still am in contact with Star's Russian (human) family.

I began Forest Ridge my sophomore year. I was able to meet amazing friends. I am still in contact with my friends from HNA.
