Hobbies
I love comedy. I'm a stage improviser currently attending classes at iO West, having previously performed on numerous ensembles back in Chicago, including The Second City. I also frequent open mics and comedy shows around the city -- I love injecting humor into my tutoring style and it's been met with across the board success when I was a writing tutor in college. I also enjoy cooking (I like cooking red meat and Italian food specifically), working out, reading anything I can get my hands on, going to the movies, hosting Game of Thrones viewing parties, and playing puzzle video games. I actually hold the world-record score for a Pokemon-themed puzzle game on the Nintendo 64. Music is also a big component in my life; I listen to a huuuuge variety of artists and genres. Classic rock, indie rock, hard rock, heavy metal, death metal, indie pop, folk music, hip hop, electronic music... the list goes on. I'm listening to The Beach Boys as I write this.
