Hobbies
While my training is largely scientific, my personal interests range much more towards the artistic side: Music (piano, violin, singing, guitar, composing), illustration (children's and fashion), graphic design. I am also an avid and classically trained ballet dancer with experience in contemporary, jazz, modern, and hip-hop as well. I enjoy reading and am widely read on classical literature and poetry. I especially enjoy Shakespeare and Romantic era poetry.
