This is my first full year on The Feather staff. I joined last winter as a reviews columnist and thoroughly enjoyed sharing my opinion regarding the goings on of Fox's hit series Glee each week.

The subject of English and all it entails delights me. There is nothing I enjoy more than expanding my vocabulary while creating a written work of art.

As I am very passionate about singing, I have become more involved in Fresno Christian's music program. My senior year marks my return to the worship team and I am very excited about my debut with the ensemble.

I take advantage of opportunities to lead worship for church or youth group functions and I have volunteered in my church's nursery for the past five years.

Live theater and musicals are a very important part of my life. I was in drama for five semesters and I adore acting. Over the course of my life I have had the pleasure of viewing many musicals; witnessing talented performers showcase their natural abilities on stage is an experience I will never tire of.

Clinical and forensic psychology fascinates me; I love getting into peoples' heads and ascertaining how their minds rationalize their actions. I plan to major in psychology and minor in acting at Fresno State University.

I love traveling and have had the pleasure of taking many international vacations to explore Canada, Europe, Australia and the Virgin Islands.
