Description

Hello friends! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I'm so excited to meet all you lovely, interesting people! So a little about me... I recently graduated with a bachelors in biology (biotechnology emphasis). I absolutely love learning and find myself delving into a variety of topics, from chemistry to philosophy. I also love to do anything outdoors (hiking and rock climbing are among my favorites). I grew up in rural Idaho, a place known for rodeos, agriculture, and potatoes. I had a pretty typical Idahoan upbringing. Some of my earliest memories were of cleaning the chicken coop, pulling weeds in the garden, and harvesting potatoes from our neighbor's field to store in the root cellar. I was raised to work hard.

More details about my language interests
I've been focusing on improving my Spanish for the past year, but recently started learning French and German because I'll be visiting there in October/November. I'm open to delving into other languages as well! I'm fluent in English and more than happy to help others with learning it.
