I have always been a person of many passions. My portfolio here thus far includes singing, dancing, theater performance, fiber arts, sewing, knitting, pattern design, costume design, modeling, photography... and doesn't comprehensively cover my other interests that include hiking, backpacking, skiing, rollerblading, ice skating, sketching, spinning, weaving...
And that really only paints a picture of half of it, because as a top student in school, I also excelled at math and science and could have followed one of my more academic career ideas such as veterinarian science or accounting.
But how to choose? With so many abilities, I had often been told I need to hone my focus in order to excel in one area. It was only recently that I have come to embrace that I am a "multipotentialite," and it's my superpower.
To quote Emilie Wapnick who coined this term:
"The ability to draw from and integrate a range of diverse ideas makes multipotentialites particularly well-suited to solving complex, multifactorial problems. And, their unconventional backgrounds help them develop unique voices and contribute fresh perspectives wherever they go."

So here I present a portfolio of some of my many interests and skills. They are all a part of my identity and what I bring to the table, and I only plan to add more!
