She assists her father in writing and illustrating children's books, including their debut children's book, "Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Jar Mishap." Her contributions to the storyline were inspired by evening readings with her family of Milne and Shepard's 1926 classic, "Winnie-the-Pooh."

She loves books, hockey, monkey bars, riding her bike, science, piano, and art.
