📚 I also have a strong interest in and knowledge of spoken languages, science, computing, fine art, and music. I was a double major in Cultural Anthropology (Linguistics) and Foreign Language (Spanish) at the University of Memphis, and I speak fluent Spanish and English and rudimentary Portuguese.
🎸 I am a lifelong musician and guitarist. For the better part of the last four years I have been composing, producing, and improvising orchestral music on the computer in the style of classical music, motion picture scores, and television musical cues by leveraging my past skills in video animation, video post-production, and editing.
