I love to travel and to learn about the world and different languages. My perfect day is curling up with my two cats and a good mystery novel. I love film, art and cooking, as well. I am currently in my second year of my Master's at CSULB in Linguistics. Aside from education, the majority of my employment has been in customer service.
