I'm a very easy going, open minded person. I love music in all shapes and forms. I'm currently studying Hispanic Literature, Latin American History, and Music at a liberal arts college in Portland, OR. My primary language is English, but after studying a full semester in Valparaíso, Chile my Spanish is very pasable. I like to share stories, skills and ideas with new acquaintances and old friends.
