PERSONAL INTERESTS
I am fluent in Spanish and travel as often as I can in order to see more of the world and practice my
Spanish skills. I enjoy reading, baking, salsa dancing, African drumming and dance, as well as
spending time outside. I also try to explore other creative outlets, such as painting, and sewing.
