About Me

star Nick

star he/they

I'm a 23 year old college student majoring in Spanish and minoring in theater. I've been working part-time at a craft store since late 2019! As of August 2023, I've also started doing bookkeeping there. I've been learning Spanish for 7 or 8 years now, and I've also taken some Japanese classes. I hope to try learning some Russian, too. (I can read the Cyrillic alphabet, but I don't know much vocabulary or grammar.)
