HOBBIES AND INTERESTS

My whole life I have been interested in music. I started singing at age 6 in the Australian Girls Choir where I was given opportunities to sign at events such as the Good Friday Appeal concert and AFL Grand final over my 7 years of enrolment. I began private music tuition at age 8, also joining various community choirs including the Sunbury Choral Association who I am still currently singing with. I also perform as part of an acoustic duo (Harp and Vocals) and as a soloist.

 

Other than music, I also enjoy various arts and crafts activities including embroidery and spending time with friends and family.
