FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

I've developed a fondness for dragonflies

A dragonfly symbolizes adaptability, harmony, and transformation, qualities that I hold dear. Throughout any hardship in life, I try to remember that I cannot change what is happening, so I should change my perspective and adapt to find a new harmony.

In my free time

I like practicing new drumming styles, playing a good game, reading, writing, and hanging out with my dog Morbo and my partner.

My best under-appreciated skill: Math

It is very odd, but I’ve always had an uncanny ability to memorize and manipulate numbers.
