JoMS student Mary Jane is just a kid, but she already has a lot of arts experience!

She performs as a Hawaiian and Tahitian dancer with her mother, Tilini, and her two brothers.

She’s an actor, too. Mary Jane has taken classes at Knoxville Children’s Theatre, and this year you can see her as Belinda Cratchit in “A Christmas Carol” at the Clarence Brown Theatre. (She did a monologue and sang “Climb Every Mountain” for her audition.)

Mary Jane also shoots short digital videos with her older brothers. Her dad, Ben, says they specialize in “jump scares” — that is, moments that make viewers jump out of their seats with fright.

She’s taking the general music class at our School, plays violin, and wants to learn piano.

Did we mention that Mary Jane is only 6? Amazing! She’s got a wonderful set of talents and an excellent attitude, and we can’t wait to see where they lead her.
