Hobbies

I am passionate about any art form, from fine arts to performing arts to visual arts. I paint and do ceramics whenever I have some time. I love independent foreign films, especially French and Argentinian ones. I grew up in Europe and was blessed with an exceptional education. I believe that learning should be fun and enriching and not just about taking good tests. Learning is a life long experience and every day that I learn something new, whether big or small, is a good day!
