Hey! :)

I love teaching and teach something new to someone every day. Years ago, I combined my love for travel with my passion for learning and volunteered in an isolated village. During my free time, I taught the children how to play the American card game Go Fish. A few weeks back I found myself teaching Go Fish again, this time to classmates from Brazil. Like many of my classmates, I try to make time for a social life despite classes. So far, so good.

After studying cultural anthropology and gender studies in college, I find myself quite sensitive to cultural issues. I enjoy seeking answers to social puzzles, and finding more questions in the process. Listening to friends’ passionate discussions of their interests is always enlightening.

Currently, I am a law student with a special interest in civil rights. I participate in advocacy work outside of law school, too. My advocacy work is often in the form of speeches--encouraging educational opportunities for students around the world.

Dancing, writing, analyzing, seeing the other side of things, communicating.

1. My family and friends. 2. My iPhone. 3. Market Spice Tea. 4. Good public transportation. 5. Some free time now and then. I like to be busy, but not too busy. 6. Hugs.

What are the social forces that influence people’s words and actions? Civil rights, including disability rights. While I think about a variety of things, many of them are a variant of the above question. I’m also wondering how I might get away to some exotic place during break.

No two Fridays are alike. Two common themes are salsa dancing and finding a new restaurant.

My dog has never learned to put her toys away when she's done playing with them. I trip over them all the time.
