ABOUT ME
At the moment, I am taking a leap year from my studies with my family in
America. During this time, I am learning more about my background and culture
while doing some work in the computer and gaming industries. I will also be using
this time to: pursue martial arts, and work on my Japanese at the community
college where I will also be taking pottery lessons. Since the age of 5, I've been
living with my mother, an artist, in Europe. We've lived in Sweden, The
Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, England and short term been in Poland and
It Italy. Because of all the moving, I am very adaptable and I know how to get along
with people anywhere and use being an outsider as an analytical tool.

HOBBIES & INTERESTS
I used to play League of Legends in the über team-based format it's geared towards but because my friends
and I are international and constantly moving, we dropped out of competitive playing when all of our time
zones and servers moved. Now I play individually. I am exploring a minor interest in architecture through
obsessive building projects in Minecraft. I hone in on my strategic skills through my Civilizations
explorations. I also play Dungeons & Dragons and Role Playing / Tabletop Games. My other hobbies include:
working out, any kind of team sport, and co-writing a novel with my cousin.
