Brief Biographical Sketch:

Pre-med. Biology research. Clinic volunteer. These all describe my identity here as I travel through my senior year. But I really love gaming, and I grew up on a lot of "foreign" shows and Nintendo games. I never put much thought into where my entertainment came from. Once I found my adventurous curiosity, I began reading all about changes made to them to come to America. I enjoy reading about culture because they make up a large background of other people, and I want to understand how they think!
