ABOUT ME

I'm very honest, straightforward and well mannered individual. I'm always looking for ways to learn not only academically, but from others' life experiences.

I like working out, playing soccer, beach volleyball, practice any water sports, watching movies, learning more languages or improving the ones I already know as well as disputing theories from numerous topics. In addition, I'm open minded, to try new and different cuisine than what I'm used to eat,as well as finding different ways to entertain myself, and learning something new from someone else when traveling or hosting.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat everyone equally or as you would like to be treated regardless of race, nationality, ethnic background, or religious believe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Despite all the obstacles against, I became US citizen in February 28, 2007.

Moreover, it was a real journey for me to get an AA degree in the United States. So and after 4 years of hard work, I finally obtained my AA and graduated with honors from Normandale Community College in the city of Bloomington, MN.

Then, I transferred to the University of Minnesota where within 2 years I got a BA degree in Global Studies. I took off once graduated to work in ND. Then, I returned a year after for a M.Ed. in HRD. And I graduated within 2 years again.
