I am a Senior at Oklahoma State University, majoring in German, with minors in Russian and Eastern European Studies and Central Asian Studies. Before beginning university, I was an exchange student to Berlin, Germany, with the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Program, during which time I lived with a German host family and attended another year of high school in a Berlin Gymnasium. I enjoy writing, in English and German, and enjoy history and geography, especially when these intertwine with German and Eastern European studies.

Painting, writing, and reading all occupy me for hours. The same goes for German history and international relations. I love art and architecture, too!
