Hobbies
Arts Whether its professional or creative, I enjoy all aspects of art from film festivals, exhibits, and historical pieces. I enjoy my down time by painting, creating music, and even attending local plays and festivals. Science and Technology I am also always ready to discuss news from scientific fields ranging from gene studies, social sciences, and the topic of space. I find what many scientists are studying to be very interesting and I try to take the time to learn about new fields of study and methodologies. Academic Research When I have time and a topic, I busy myself with my own research within Humanities and Social Sciences focusing on international populations, minority rights, and how to create a better lifestyle working with local organizations. Travel I have always been on the move traveling from the US to Asia, Oceania, and now Europe. I enjoy learning about new cultures, and creating international friendships by relaxing and making memories.
