I'm a student between high school and college with a wide range of interests, including literature, linguistics, philosophy, drama, history, and classical studies.  I also study martial arts, and hold a first dan black belt in Taekwondo.

I speak Spanish and read Latin fluently.  I'm currently working on classical Greek, French, and Italian. 

 When I was fifteen I listlessly picked up a book about Buddhism, and at eighteen I took refuge with Geshe Lama Tsulga at Kurukulla Center here in Massachusetts.

"Do not commit any non-virtuous actions. Perform only perfect virtuous actions. Subdue your mind thoroughly. This is the teaching of the Buddha." -The Diamond Cutter Sutra
