Summary

My dominant trait as a student, employee, or artist is curiosity. Whether it is academics, travel, film, music, or being outdoors, my desire to learn and experiment carries me. I am constantly driven to try new things and immerse myself in a new culture, environment, or subject. My curiosity has helped me find new passions I never thought I'd find intriguing or acquire new skills I thought I'd never be able to learn. I take curiosity with me wherever I go and it has never failed me. I am constantly learning new things about myself and the world around me.
