What has been your favorite part during your time on the YE4C Editorial Board?

I love being able to work with peers to help others our age. YE4C is such a valuable resource for students, and I’m grateful to have met such an engaging group of board members. I know that we were able to make a difference.  

Specifically, one of my favorite things that I did was host an Instagram live session about managing COVID-19 related anxiety and stress. It was cool being able to use social media and my position as a teenager to help connect with people across the country during the quarantine. YE4C is constantly striving to reach as many people as they can with the best resources that they can.  

What kinds of artistic activities have you been involved in?

Well, a big reason why I am working on making a resource list about artistic training for kids is that music and the arts are such big passions for me. I have been involved in singing and songwriting for so many years. And, I’ve been lucky enough to compete and win awards for it lately. For example, I won the ACT-SO Nationals Gold Medal in Music Competition last year. I also won a few other awards for my singing and songwriting. I’ve also been able to get involved with acting too. I currently star in “Junk Drawer Magical Adventures” on Universal Kids Network. I’ve been doing it for the last few years and that’s also been fun. I enjoy finding different ways to use my creativity to give back to others.
