About Me

There are some that might say that I am old at heart; others accuse me of being a cynic. I cannot say that these assessments are invalid.

As for the more germane details, I work as a Spanish interpreter in a clinic ran by the ETSU College of Nursing. I find my work interesting and challenging at times. I am a graduate student as well with only a semester or two remaining.
