Introduction Where to begin? I love to learn, basic nerd syndrome or Jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none disease. I speak Spanish and K'iche', play the piano, sing, and used to play the drums and percussion stuff, am obsessed with Pop Latino music, SpongeBob Squarepants, and the color purple (the actual color, not the book). I have lived in Guatemala doing research and Argentina teaching career workshops. I worked as a Fulbrighter in Paraguay studying nanduti. I am now in grad school at Syracuse University studying International Relations and Public Administration. I am LDS and happily married!:)
