Welcome!

Hello everyone!

This website acts as my personal corner of the virtual classroom, where I get to share my insights on readings and complete assignments. It’s like having our own digital study space, where we can express our thoughts and ideas freely. By giving each of us our own platform, it adds a personal touch to our learning journey, allowing us to engage deeply with the material and showcase our unique perspectives. It’s all about creating a collaborative environment where we can learn from each other and grow together, one post at a time.

Outside academia, my passions thrive. Photography is my creative outlet, with a focus on automotive shots complemented by nature and portrait work. A true car enthusiast, I find solace in tinkering with vehicles—a grown-up version of Legos, albeit with added frustration. Beyond the garage, snowboarding, graphic design, and gaming round out my interests.

The animal version of me, as I love sleeping and relaxing
