If Sylvie isn't busy spelling, you can find her reading Harry Potter books. Her favorite Harry Potter book is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and her favorite movie is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. Her other hobbies include dance and listening to Twenty One Pilots, her favorite band, to which she has trouble assigning a genre. Once she is done with spelling, she wants to try coaching other spellers or learning to play the ukulele. Sylvie tied for ninth place in the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee.
