About

I am a positive, hard working, and humble person. I enjoy working with others, learning from others, and inspiring those around me. I am at my best when I can use my strengths of adaptability, flexibility, and motivation. I strive to achieve goals and am motivated by a positive work environment.

I have my Associates of Arts degree and am currently working on my Bachelor's degree at Antioch in the field of Global Studies. I speak 4 languages, do carpentry and fine woodworking, and am an artist.

Education

  • Seattle Central College

    Associates of Arts

    2002 – 2014

Goals and interests

Career goal

My career goals are varied - an interpreter, chef, entrepreneur, carpenter, facilities maintenance - basically anything where I can use my hands, creativity, and charm. I'm hoping these next 2 years at Antioch will help me narrow the scope.

Graduate school interests

My goal is to get my Bachelor's degree first and apply it first. I'd love to get a Master's, but that will come later.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies are fine woodworking, cabinetry, painting, sculpting, drawing, cooking, running, sewing, bicycling, mentoring Italian students, and teaching a laughing class to senior citizens where I work. Laughter creates the same use of oxygen and the same amount of endorphins and hormones as a gym workout. This is very beneficial to everyone, but especially people with limited mobility, depression, and heart disease.
