Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut--favorite book is Slaughterhouse Five. I don't watch many movies because my attention span is a bit short, but I do enjoy TV shows such as F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Seinfeld, and How I Met Your Mother. My music taste is vast and unpredictable, ranging from techno and alternative rock to reggaeton.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drive Route 66 alone in my very first car: a beat-up red Pontiac convertible

Teach, Learn, Share

I know English fluently and have a conversational level of Spanish

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am notoriously optimistic, an excellent listener, and easy to get along with. I'd really love to say that I've got exceptional cooking abilities or something but I'm going to admit I even frequently overcook my pasta. If you like overcooked pasta though...you're in for a treat.
