I'm a writer, translator, doctoral student, and art critic, who can always be found in a gallery with my hands clasped behind my back, or in the pool perfecting my butterfly. One fun fact about me is that I could ride a horse before I could walk, and, in my spare time, paint abstracts and learn languages. I am very curious and have been described by friends as a bon-vivant, even though I spend most of my life underwater or in libraries I love being in nature, hiking, cross-country skiing, exploring, and am also known for hosting great dinner-parties :) !
