About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work more, sleep less

ABOUT ME

Always looking for the next project. I spend more time volunteering than actually attending classes, guess that's why I'm still a student :) In my spare time I work as a subtitler for film festivals (yes, it's a job) and work part-time as a translator. I am also a camp leader for summer volunteer workcamps in Croatia. Bookmooch is my best friend. I collect travel guides and love cats. I'm currently an MA student at UWaterloo.
