About
As of right now, I am currently a student at Ivy Tech Community College of Terre Haute, Indiana. I am attending classes in order to gain an Associate of Arts degree. I am taking classes in French, Spanish, American Sign Language, English, and other classes that I feel would help with those areas, such as Sociology and Psychology.
I took four years of French in high school and French Level I in college. I feel I am able to speak well enough in French to be able to make basic conversation, and to actually find my way around if I were ever in a French-speaking country. I am not fluent in it yet, and I read and write French better than I speak it. I am currently taking French Level II right now in college.
I just started Spanish recently, and I can make some very basic conversation. I am in Spanish Level II as of right now in college. I am also about to start American Sign Language this year. I do intend to learn more languages as I go further along, such as German and possibly Japanese.
After I graduate from Ivy Tech, I intend to major in American Sign Language Interpretation and Translation at IUPUI, along with either a minor or a possible double major in foreign languages. I hope to work as an interpreter and translator in the future, along with a possible career as a book author.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
After I finish my Associate of Arts at Ivy Tech Community College, I plan to major in American Sign Language Interpretation and Translation at IUPUI, along with a major in foreign languages. I hope to be an interpreter and translator, and to travel and live abroad for a few years in other countries. I may eventually even attend classes to gain a teaching certificate, so that I might teach American Sign Language and other foreign languages to students.
- Graduate school interests
None as of current moment.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy reading, especially in the fantasy genre. I also love to write. I've written poetry, short stories, fanfiction, and I am currently attempting to write my own book series. I have had poetry published a few times in the Creative Communications anthologies. I also sing, and I am a proud member of the IvySingers at Ivy Tech. I think traveling would easily become a hobby, if I ever had the chance to travel. I love to play with my dog in my spare time, as well my sister's cats and other animals. Acting in plays and musicals is something I really enjoy doing, but being in a college with no theatre department, I haven't been able to act much in the last year. I also like to go hiking, and I enjoy some martial arts. Overall, most of my hobbies and interests are in the arts and nature.
