音乐、电影与书籍
Movies: I'll confess to not being a big movie watcher -- chances are you've seen more reruns of movies/shows than I've seen total! That said, my favorite movie will forever be Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Music: I'm into Mumford-y type music, also Tom Petty, also country. I get can into almost anything. Books: Catch-22. Unbroken. How to Win Friends and Influence People (yes, that's right)
我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
I hiked the 220-mile John Muir Trail this past summer.
教学、学习、分享
Teach: I can read music and play piano. I love to bake; please let me bake for you! I can speak intermediate German. I'm a total nerd when it comes to grammar and editing. I can talk your face off about psychology, PTSD, human trafficking, dogs, and topics that involve a lot of "Dude, what if...?!" interjections. If you're interested, I can also teach you the basics of most U.S. sports, and then convert you into a Packers fan. Learn: I want to learn everything, so teach me whatever you can.
我的兴趣
I'm an activist in terms of human rights issues. I've committed much of my volunteer time to organizations that serve soldiers/veterans, victims of human trafficking, victims of assault/abuse, animal rehabilitation, and other causes. I'm currently pursuing my PhD in Clinical Psychology with a focus on PTSD and traumatic brain injuries in the military; big believer in wilderness therapy!
