Still not enough for you?   Want to know more?

 

Well, my parents and my younger sister still live in Miami, along with a bunch of cousins and various other family members.  I don’t have any pets, although through the years I have been the owner of a viscous killer attack beagle from Heck, a frog named Frisbee and a really fat gerbil that died at the ripe old age of 4 months.
I love to travel and to learn about different cultures.  Go to my photo page to see pictures of me in India, Greece, Spain, London, Cuba, Germany, Mexico, Prague and other places.  I’m spending this summer in southern Africa, where I will be setting up an elementary school cultural exchange program in South Africa and working on a higher education conference through Students for Students International in Zimbabwe.

On campus I am on the coordinating committee and am a teaching assistant for Great Decisions, a student-run lecture series.  I’m also a campus tour guide, and the editor of Blue & White, the campus magazine.  You can find out more about my activities at my resume page.

I love reading and running.  I ran my first marathon last year in Sevilla, Spain, where I studied for a semester.  I don’t think I’ll run another one, but then again, I always said I would never run one in the first place!  I went skydiving for the first time this past year, also as part of an article I wrote for Blue & White.  Check out my portfolio page to read it.

 

I’m creating this page as part of Electronic Communication Sources, a class I am taking this semester in UNC’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication.  To find out more about the course go to the J-50 web page.
