WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO WHEN YOU AREN’T AT SCHOOL?

Outside of school I like to make my own earrings and get excited about DIY projects and costumes. I enjoy going to the gym and my weekly Muay Thai class. I can be found biking along the lakeshore or listening to podcasts. I keep up my photography practice exhibiting my work at art fairs or local galleries.

WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT YOU?

That I am an 80s retro music enthusiast and vinyl collector.  My favourite time of day is coffee time. I have a pet gecko named gonzo, and love children's books. I have a special spot in my heart for Peter h. Reynolds' "The Dot".
