They further developed these skills when they were accepted into the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA), where they found their artistic eye in design---which was awarded at the Texas U.I.L State Design Competition---and acting, culminating in their becoming a Theatre Finalist at the 2018 National YoungArts Competition.
