My mother is a pediatrician and my father is a speech therapist. Growing up with two parents in the health care industry brought a lot of knowledge to my attention from a young age. I sat at the dinner table and listened to my parents talk about their work days at the hospital. Listening to their conversations gave me health care terminology I would not know if I hadn't heard so much growing up. As I got older this was the factor that made me realize there are different worlds explore outside of my own bubble.

When I was younger my dad was a chef at his own restaurant. This is where my infatuation with cooking began. As I grew older I realized reading recipes is a large part of the cooking process. I began cooking at a young age with my dad and now enjoy finding new recipes to make on my own.

My first encounter with the piano was when I was around the age of 1. My great grandma who we lived with at the time owned a beautiful grand piano that I loved to senselessly bang on. When she passed away she wanted someone in the family to carry on her talent on the piano and she thought that person should be me. At age 13 I began piano lessons and learned to read and comprehend sheet music. Although I do not practice piano consistently anymore, I love to play the songs Iv'e memorized when I have the chance.

This is a book my literature class was assigned to read in high school. This was a book I couldn't put down while reading. 'Room' changed my perspective on reading for fun and got in interested in other books by this author. This book has stuck with me throughout my educational career ever since I read it.

Growing up, my grandma read to me every chance she got. My favorite time to listen to her read to me was right before bed. The book she read to me the most and that I can still remember listening to was 'Goodnight Moon'.

I grew up attending a private catholic school. I was baptized into the church when I was a baby. When I was old enough I made the conscious decision to continue practicing and following the catholic faith as an adult. Through these experiences I gained insight on a religious world. I hold my faith close to my heart and am proud to be catholic.

Dance was one of the first activities my parents introduced me to when I was little and I absolutely fell in love with it. I was a competitive dancer from age 5-18 and spent majority of my free time training at the studio. I learned how to count music and how to interpret themes of dance. I also learned how to speak in and understand dance terms.
