Piano: 12 years of study; perform classical (Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Beethoven, Bach) and contemporary (Einaudi) music. Compose original pieces in G, C, and A minor. I perfom in competitions, at school, and at nursing homes to uplift community spirit amongst the elderly. Also, I am a member of a school club, Music for a Cause, in which I play music to raise money for those in need.

Independent Reading & Research: Explored anthropology through independent reading (ethnographic case studies), connecting cultural studies to global economics. Also, I focus on how cultural values influence global markets, consumer behavior, and financial decision-making.
