I grew up in a bilingual household and after learning Spanish at a young age, continued studying it throughout my schooling. Ultimately, I received my bachelor's degree in Spanish Language and Literature with a focus on Hispanic linguistics from Denison University in 2017. During my college career, I also studied German and Portuguese. After completing my studies in 2017, I moved abroad spending one year in Brazil and the last two years in Mexico. My background in Spanish and time living in Brazil has led to me becoming fluent in Portuguese as well.
