HOBBIES: I enjoy casual and in-depth conversation over coffee/tea and just hanging out with friends. I also enjoy writing, reading, hiking, biking, camping and bowling. I absolutely love travelling and hope to do a lot more in the future.

GOALS/ASPIRATIONS: Next year, I will resume graduate studies in history, and from there hope to continue on to law school with aspirations for a career in human rights law. Writing has always been one of my greatest strengths and favourite pastimes, so I will continue to write on the side and see where that carries me. One of my goals at the moment is to finish editing and seek publication of many of my essays. I am also currently at work on a novel.

ABOUT MYSELF: I'm a laid-back and extremely open-minded individual with a passion for writing, politics, history, art and social justice. I believe that family and friendship are of the greatest value. Keeping healthy is also important to me and that is why I exercise regularly and walk everywhere possible.

MUSIC TASTE: Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down, MIA, Sublime, most classic rock, punk (The Clash, The Ramones and Dead Kennedys in particular), blues, old school hip-hop/rap, R&B, funk, soul (mostly from the 1960's/70's) and reggae.
