Since attending elementary school at Puente de Hozho, Yazzie has participated in Navajo language classes, allowing her to more comfortably converse with her grandparents when she and her family travel to Blue Gap. Her passion for nutrition formed as a combination of her skills in both chemistry and the culinary arts. Yazzie has played the violin for eight years and held the role of concert master this year for the high school’s orchestra. Through this role, she led the other violinists in afterschool practice sessions where they worked through pieces of their music in sections, lines or even note by note for more difficult songs. Following the example of family members, Yazzie plays both the guitar and the violin, but she prefers the latter.
