Skylar and her dad attended many concerts together including the most recent being the American Roots Music and Arts Festival which included Cheryl Crow and Willie Nelson. Skylar and her mom loved their trips to the book stores and Starbucks. Skylar was her brother’s biggest fan always cheering him on at his games. Her creativity was shown through sketching and writing. One of Skylar’s favorite things she loved to do was to visit NYC where she enjoyed all the sites, shopping and pizza.

At the age of 10, Skylar found her love for Tae Kwon Do. After three years of very hard work and dedication, she achieved her proudest moment which was earning her International Tae Kwon Do First Degree Black Belt. She was a great role model and mentor to the younger students.
