DeAnn DeNovellis

Hobbies: I love to bake pastries (for example I like to bake “Hamburger cupcakes”), I really got into writing songs as well due to my passion for singing and dance. In addition, I love to go fly fishing with my grandpa, volunteer for the American Red Cross (I mainly deliver blood to local hospitals), play video games, rock-climb, and I just started getting into kick-boxing too!
Favorite Subject in School: Anatomy and Physiology (studying my pre-med requires for my degree)
Favorite Food: When I lived in the Philippines for a year and half my lola (grandma) made a soup called “Malunggay Soup,” I now crave this constantly. However if I don’t have time to make that soup, I am happy with SPAM and RICE!
Ambition: Currently I am in college studying to be a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer and I wish to delve deeper afterwards in my education to hopefully become a full fledged Radiologist. However, I truly believe there is no so such thing as being to old to dream big so I still dream of being a recording artist one day.
