I love education, people, animals, history, literature, and film (especially documentaries and historical fiction). If you're only going to watch one documentary, watch Dishonesty: The Truth about Lies. I'm a vegetarian and currently work at PetSmart. If you view my Linkedin account, you can see my long history of volunteer work. I will be attending Loyola Chicago this fall to major in history and international studies (with a focus on the Middle East) and to minor in statistics, with plans to eventually get a masters and possibly beyond. I will be studying Arabic language and literature and studying abroad in Vietnam, for which I am teaching myself Vietnamese. My dream is to write research reports on social, political, and economic issues around the world, especially when it concerns human rights violations and genocide. I would also love to work at a museum or nonprofit, and eventually a retirement home.
