As a child I moved to the U.S. and lived in NYC for about 22years, later becoming U.S. Citizen. In college I majored in Communications and Theater. I have experience in many different lines of work in the U.S. from Sales, to IT, Education, and Entertainment. The one thing I value the most is learning. Learning keeps me motivated especially languages. I am a native English, Spanish speaker, and also have conversational Japanese skills.
