ADDITIONAL SKILLS & INTERESTS

I have a passion for music. I am a self-taught guitar player, and have played
for the last ten years. I enjoy working creatively on do-it-yourself projects
around the house. I consider myself an amateur sommelier, as I cook cultural
foods and pair complimentary drinks with them. Very involved with sports,
specifically soccer, basketball, and beach volleyball. Running is another
passion of mine, it clears my mind and is a form of meditation.
