Are you involved with any extra-curricular activities? And how is it helping you?

Linguistics Club, It strengthens my leadership skills. I have to coordinate meetings and events for a group of people, facilitate effective communication between officers and members, handle administrative affairs, and make sure everyone’s voice is heard. It’s a lot of work but it’s a privilege to see my efforts reflecting in the success of this group.

What is your favorite animal and why?

Definitely the gibbons. They are one of only two kinds of lesser apes, they are the only primate that can fully brachiate because their shoulder joints are designed for full rotation, so they are basically 35mph amazing tree swingers. Also they sing and have adorable long hands.
