Hobbies

Music

Music is integral to my life. I listen to music every single day, ranging from classical music to pop and folk music from all over the world. I also love making music myself. I am primarily a singer. I have been singing for as long as I remember, and I sang in choir from 6th grade all the way through undergrad. I also know how to play violin, viola, cello, guitar, and piano. Recently, I have gotten back into songwriting. So, if anyone would like to jam sometime, let me know.

Rugby

Rugby is the greatest sport on the planet. I started playing rugby at the University of Florida, and I played from 2013 to 2017. I decided to take a hiatus in grad school, and I just recently got back to playing rugby. I currently play for the Las Colinas Rugby Football Club, a local rugby club in Irving, Texas. If you want to meet some fantastic people and don’t mind getting a few bruises here and there every once in a while, I truly recommend checking out your local rugby club.

Poetry

Recently, I picked up my pen and started writing poetry again. Of course, I like reading poetry, but I much prefer writing the poems myself. I don’t have a particular style, as my style is determined by the subject and theme of the poem itself. I write poetry primarily in English and Spanish, though I have also experimented with writing poetry in Portuguese and French as well.

Gaming

Yes, I am a gamer. I almost exclusively play Nintendo games, primarily those from the Pokémon franchise. Currently, I am actively playing Pokémon Unite (IGN: SOB・PhDan) and Pokémon Go (IGN: Dantonio95). Other games that I enjoy playing are Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and many more. I also really enjoy arcade games, especially dancing games like Pump It Up.
