I enjoy anything that has to do with art, whether it's music or drawing or creative writing. I also enjoy learning new languages. I am most confident in English and Spanish, but I've been learning Korean for a few years and I can happily say that I can understand quite a lot. It's to the point where I have sometimes volunteered as a part-time translator for tv shows on an online website called Viki. I don't do it often, however, due to a lack of free time. Last year (2022) I even began learning Japanese. It's not on the same level as my Korean but I'm working on it. Also, I recently started learning sign language as I've come across various individuals that I regrettably was not able to understand the message they wanted to relay and that sparked an interest in their language for me.

I hope to get a better understanding of translation in order to help those in need. There's many who don't have the abilities, time or circumstances to learn a new language and therefore struggle to properly communicate their needs. I have seen this firsthand and wish to help those I my community.
