Hobbies
- Reading is a favorite hobby of mine. I am particularly fond of historical fiction with an emphasis on English and French history. Another genre I enjoy is dystopian books where character development is very interesting and the fight for justice is a central theme. Psychology and astronomy are also high on my reading list.
- Arts and Crafts are another way I spend my time. I particularly enjoy drawing and painting, but I also spend time experimenting with multiple types of crafts.
- I am learning the basics of Italian by using Duolingo. I would like to one day visit Italy.
