Overview

My Interests

I have a wide range of interests. Traveling and seeking out new experiences are at the heart of my life, as I strive to live fully and embrace every opportunity that comes my way

Travel

I have had the privilege of traveling extensively, exploring 37 countries around the world. Each journey has been meticulously planned by me, offering immersive experiences that delve deep into the culture, history, and natural beauty of each destination. My love for travel goes beyond mere sightseeing—it's about truly connecting with each place I visit, creating unforgettable memories along the way.

Music & Art

I have a passion for creating music, with 7 years of formal training on the flute. While the flute is my primary instrument, I also explore a variety of others, each contributing to my diverse musical expression. In addition, I have earned awards for my performances on the flute.

Though band took up most of my credit hours in high school, I still managed to take 2 art classes including AP Art. I enjoy creating art, so was glad to be able to hone my artistic talent.

Sports & Activities

I lead an active lifestyle, regularly participating in a variety of activities like rock climbing, snorkeling, biking, rollerblading, walking, and hiking. These adventures keep me energized and connected to the outdoors.

Hobbies

I choose to spend little time online or watching TV, which gives me the freedom to focus on my passions. From crafting and knitting to scrapbooking, sewing, and journaling, I embrace creative pursuits that bring me joy and fulfillment.

Causes

I have been volunteering since I was a child, driven by a deep desire to help others and make a positive impact on the environment. Whether lending a hand to those in need or working to preserve nature, volunteering allows me to contribute to causes that matter to me.

Lego

I have amassed an extensive Lego collection, which I enjoy expanding, constructing, and using to create my own unique designs. For me, Lego is not just a hobby—it's a way to creatively express myself and bring my imagination to life.

History of My Language Learning

Taking Spanish in high school provided me with a strong foundation in language learning. I quickly picked up the language and enjoyed the process of mastering new skills. By the end of my studies, I was able to engage in basic conversations and confidently order in Spanish at restaurants. After college, I continued to build on my Spanish skills through language learning apps.

When I began learning German, I noticed my Spanish seemed to take a backseat to the new language, and I initially thought I had lost my proficiency. However, during visits to Spain, I discovered that many of my Spanish skills were still intact, allowing me to understand and communicate to some extent.

If a job requires fluency in either Spanish or German, I am confident in my ability to dedicate myself to achieving a proficient level. My previous experience with language acquisition has shown me that I can adapt and relearn languages effectively when needed.
