Interests: I am quite the nerd! I love playing games (such as Mario Party, Stardew Valley, and Among Us) and watching TV shows.

I am very fond of Japanese culture and am working to eventually become fluent in Japanese. As such, I wawtch quite a bit of anime. My recent favorites have been Dr. Stone and Oshi no Ko.

I love learning and trying new things, like learning new languages or traveling. I tend to pick up learning bits of different languages at a time, so I've studied as various languages as Mandarin, Hawaiian, Icelandic, and Xhosa, although I'm most consistent with learning Japanese, Polish, and French. I've traveled to China (Beijing and Shanghai) for two days en route to Australia, Australia (Sydney and Canberra) for three months to visit a friend, and Canada (Ottawa, Niagara Falls, Quebec City, and Halifax) for a few days on a road trip. I want to eventually have visited every continent in the world.

I also love music and cooking, and I frequently like to listen to music while I cook. I listen to many pop artists like Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, but I also am known to explore music genres. I listen to a considerable amount of J-pop and lo-fi music in particular.
