Artistic

Literary

I like Golden Age Spanish literature the most, specifically Garcilaso de la Vega and María de Zayas. I also enjoy Charles Dickens, Fernando Pessoa, and Jorge Luis orges. Lately I've been quite enjoying a book entitled But N Ben A-Go-Go, a book in Scots.

Visual

My favourite visual works include those by Pablo Picasso, Marcel DuChampe, Yves Klein, Joan Miró, Xul Solar, and other modernist, post-modernist and post-post-modernist artists. My favourite piece by far is Gernika, although I would love to have a Rothko in my place more than any other artist.

Musical

I love all kinds of music, with a few exceptions. My favourite style is trance, most especially non-vocal stuff from the mid-late 1990s.

Athletic

Swimming

I swam competitively for ten years during my childhood and youth with Auburn Aquatics. My senior year of high school, I was named Most Valuable Player for Auburn High School. After a three year hiatus, I began swimming again on the Auburn Masters te am. My primary strokes are backstroke and butterfly.

Water Polo

I started playing water polo when I got to university and played for three years. Upon transfering to Auburn, I began playing for Auburn University. My main position is driver, partially because of my speed from my previous swimming experience.

Linguistic

Castellano

Es el idioma de mis antepasados, y también el idioma en lo cual se escribe la mayoría de las obras de literatura que estudio. En la primavera de 2007 empiezo la enseñanza del idioma español a los estudios a la universidad de Auburn. Recibí mi l icenciatura de filología hispánica en 2005.

Português do Brasil

Depois de dominar o castelhano decidi aprender o português, que tem um sonido mais musical prao meu gosto. Tambem é mui útil nos meus estudos hispânicos os quales normalmente requiere-me saber como ler o português.
