NOTA BENE 
 
Art: Whimsically macabre, the spectrum of my artisanship spans everything from pen to piano to poetry. Employers in the creative arts 
are humbly invited to visit www.becousican.weebly.com for samples of my work, and to assess my foundling passion for web design. 
 
Language:  Having  always  considered  it  an  easy  and  enjoyable  task  to  learn  languages,  the  spanse  of  my  polyglotism  is a labile medley 
contingent  upon  my  location.  In  California,  I  dabbled  in  Spanish;  in  Malta,  Maltese;  Turkey,  Turkish.  As an undergraduate, I studied 
Arabic, Farsi, Japanese, Kurdish, and Mandarin. For amusement, I periodically peruse German. À n, I speak French to near uency.  
 
Travel: An avid social butter y, my insatiable wanderlust has led me to over forty of the United states and nearly y countries.
