Interests

Outside of the academic and professional realm, I am a huge Philadelphia Flyers and Phillies fan. I have been been a Flyers fan since 2012 and have been going to games since then. As for the Phillies, I have been following them since their 2022 campaign that ended in a miracle run to the World Series.

I am also a former player for the Drexel Rainbow Six Siege eSports team, playing from 2020 to 2021 as a support/flex player. I still play currently, but not on a competitive team

I am also a huge music lover, ranging from classics like Frankie Valli to modern day music such as Travis Scott. There isn't anything that I won't listen, but I tend to stick to classic rock and J-pop. As of recent, I have been mixing in some country music to my playlists.

みんなさんこにちは！初めまして！僕わ9ヶ月日本語を勉強しました！僕は平仮名とカタカナとちょっと感じわかります！いつか日本は行きたいんです。
(Hello everyone! Nice to meet you! I have been studying Japanese for 9 months! I know hiragana, katakana, and a little kanji! I want to go to Japan someday)

I have studied Japanese for about 9 months in classes, and have been self-studying on my own for about 2 months! As for my self study, I have been using Duolingo for simple refreshers on basic Kanji, vocabulary, and sentence structure. The other majority of my self-study is immersion in as many ways possible, that mainly being listening to J-Pop songs.
