I am a 20 year old International Relations major, in his junior year of college, attending Whittier College. I am originally from the East coast, (DC in particular) however my mother’s family is European (Spanish and British), while my father’s family is from Jamaica. Coming from a ethnically diverse family, from a young age I was instilled with the notion of exploration. This fortunate diversity has also allowed me to extensively travel through Western Europe and the Caribbean. So far I have visited, Italy, France, Spain, England and Greece. I would like to think, that by western standards, I am “well cultured”, and intelligent. Examples I believe demonstrate this are my enjoyment of all things culinary, good wine, and current events. I believe it important to be knowledgeable of not only what is occurring within your immediate vicinity, but also abroad and within the International Community. I think trying to keep fit and working out is important. For 14 years, I played highly competitive indoor and outdoor travel level soccer. I had to quit the sport in my second semester of University due to surgery on my left foot. I currently try and use the elliptical and have been attempting to begin to bike seriously.
