2nd degree black belt in karate

I have been doing karate since I was a child and got my black-belt at the start of my senior year of high school. I finished up my studies and did my final belt testing just before coming here. Due to the disparity of belt levels at my dojo, I was allowed to teach the lower level students before taking my final test and receiving my instructing certificate.

Chainmaille

Although I have participated in all sections of the schools blacksmithing club at least once, the vast majority of my time is occupied with chainmaille in its various forms. I have made a variety of flowers, butterflies, jewelry of all sorts, and did a large portion of graduation stoles the previous year.

6 blankets so far and 1 in progress

I am an avid crocheter and have made a blanket for each semester of college. As a senior, I have completed six blankets. The one for this semester is a custom design for my twin and is already started.

I learned to make stuffed animals this past summer.
