I am a 22 yo undergraduate student at Portland State University getting ready to graduate with a Degree in Applied Linguistics and a Minor in American Sign Language! I am a member and soon to be officer of the ASL club on campus. I am also a contributor to the LiDA project on campus, and a Linguistics research group within my department. I have also already begun some of my graduate work and will continue onto my Masters in Applied Linguistics in the coming Fall. I love to be outside on the river or go on hikes and recently joined a rec volleyball league for indoors, but I am excited for the beach volleyball season to start, too! I travel as often as I can to as many new places as I can and hope to continue traveling for as long as possible! I work part-time at a little general store near one of Oregon's many state parks, which gets very busy in the Summer! On top of that, I work as a dogsitter and housesitter for hire!
