I love riding my bicycle around town, hanging out at coffee shops, being caffeinated. I study hard and log long hours at the library, but I also like spending an entire Saturday downtown on my bicycle with a good friend, exploring the corners of the city and sharing a good conversation.

I'm especially fascinated by foreign languages and cultures. I'm bilingual in Spanish and English, and dabble in Portuguese and Farsi. I like Latin American cinema, politics, history, and ICE CREAM.
I am a woman of contradictions and because of that would consider myself well-rounded. I studied physiology for some-odd years and still maintain an interest in nutrition, anatomy and kinesiology. One of my guilty pleasures is a good sudoku puzzle, and I love taking math classes even if I don't need the credits.
I also don't think art and science are very different. There is certainly beauty in science, and science can just as easily be applied to literature and other creative endeavors.
My passions change frequently, but right now I love Spanish literature, and it consumes a large part of m life.
I dance occasionally, write poems, finger paint and tell jokes, as well as play a never-ending game of "Would You Rather?" with anyone who is willing.

I'm a left-handed liberal student in her last year (for now) of school. I go to U of A and study Spanish Literature and ESL teaching. After next September, I'll be in some currently undecided Latin American country working as an English professor like I did last year in Chile, where I lived for 13 months.

I have an insatiable desire to travel, a passion for languages, and an innate ability for teaching.
