Goals and interests

Outside the classroom

I am an avid coffee drinker who enjoys making personal coffee creations as a barista. I have a heart for engaging with international students and individuals on a regular basis while participating in various cultural exchanges. I also enjoy serving in any capacity within my campus ministry and religious organizations, particularly meeting with fellow students and mentoring. In my free time, I love to study language and culture through any means possible--watching movies and TV shows, reading books or novels, studying textbooks, and practicing conversational skills with others. Another pleasurable past-time hobby is playing the violin or piano.
