Hobbies, interests: I love to hang out with my family and friends. I enjoy doing things that are spontaneous and adventurous. One of my best friends and I rode a tandem (two seater bike) to school. I am constantly singing or whistling some song or tune. I have been singing around California since the age of 12 and have been a part of the young peoples summer theatre program at Faith Christian High School since the age of 10, performing in various plays. I love to reach out to the community through local fundraisers and concerts.

What is the importance of faith in your life? When I think of faith it gives everything meaning. Without faith, what is there?

How do you live out your faith? I believe living out your faith is something that is done in every single aspect of a person’s life. Whatever I do, I try to do for the glory of God. When someone continually lives their life for God and offers every situation and part of their life up to him, there is something noticeably different about that individual, and that is what I try to be: someone who gives their life to God everyday.
