"I am deeply passionate about language and finding new ways to master the ways we communicate.

I started learning German in 2007 and rocketed to a high proficiency in a relatively short time; I was the President of the Delta Epsilon Phi chapter of the German Honor Society, I scored a 4/5 on the Advanced Placement exam of knowledge of the German Language and Culture in 2010, and upon my acceptance to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, demonstrated a 2-year college proficiency.
