Extracurricular hobbies
- I attended weekly piano lessons from the age of approximately eight, to eighteen. Over the span of those ten years, I regularly engaged in seasonal piano recitals, performing the piece which I had last learned. Following my high-school graduation, I no longer take professional lessons, but continue practicing and playing piano as an extracurricular hobby.
- From a young age, I have been interested in creative writing. I have written and posted several short poems, and have recently started writing a novel in my free-time.
