They soon found comfort in their ability to speak and began jumping between the two languages more smoothly. From a young age, they have been fascinated by the world of story-telling in every medium, from books, to film & television, and even watching her parents with their friends telling stories. She found herself wanting a more full and immersive experience, and every time the opportunity presented itself, they would participate in school productions, Easter pageants, and performances, and before long, began to build confidence in themselves and their ability to take on the profession.
