Summary

I am a student currently and hope to get an MBA. I would like to get my degree in International Business. In the summer of 2022, I studied in Japan and improved my abilities in the language greatly. I would like to continue my ability to converse in Japanese, and get more connected to the business world that is present in Tokyo. Since I am a student, I work part time as a receptionist. A few things that I do to the side include study Japanese, play the piano, draw, sing, play the trombone, and develop board games.

Drawing, Piano, Developing Board Games, Trombone

I like to draw in my free time, as I particularly like the creative space. The majority of the things that I like to draw are things that I invent, and they often times turn into projects. Examples include creating alien concepts, creating fictional characters with backstories, and creating video game characters with special abilities and personalities. I would say that I have an innate desire to be creative.


I have been playing the Piano from a young age as just a hobby, never competitively. I play at about an intermediate level.


I develop strategic board games as well as concepts for video games in my free time as well. As a project in 2023, I developed a board game that I still am tweaking. It can be played as a video game, and I am currently looking for ways that I can begin to publish. I have done this in the past as well, but never to the extent of the project I worked on in October 2023.


Since I was young, I played the trombone and continue to do so. I am hoping at some point to find a group that I can play for. I can preform at an advanced or experienced level.


As a hobby I have also picked up singing, but I have no way to measure my ability to sing at the moment.


I also can write. I have done so in the past, but never published. I use it as a way to solidify my ideas into words, usually my writings are written in correlation with the characters, creatures, or worlds that I invent in my head or on paper. I also like to write down my thoughts on the things that I spend my time reviewing in my head.
