I am very involved in my Indigenous culture with sewing and ceremonies in Lillooet. I also enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. I volunteer at a local recovery club when I am not in school or working. I have a karaoke machine and love to practice at home. I enjoy walking everyday and making cards with scrapbooking.
