Hi there! I'm from Taos, New Mexico and I go to school at Westminster College, Missouri where I major in both Environmental Science and Spanish Translation. I love studying languages, thrifting, playing videogames, and reading in my free time. A fun fact about me is that I speak three languages fluently: English, French, and Spanish. But I'm working on German right now so hopefully it'll be four!
