Fun Facts
If you were a movie genre, what would you be and why?
If I were a movie genre, I would be Sci-Fi Musical Fantasy. Maybe it’s a heist movie. Maybe it’s got some animation. Think “if Space Opera were interpreted a bit more literally.” Why, you ask? Because I’m logical and thought provoking, but in a fun and melodramatic way.
If you could instantly become an expert in anything, what would it be?
If I could instantly become an expert in anything, I would become an expert in sign language. I know a little but it has proven difficult to teach myself and I would love to be an expert in a third language that would also allow me to provide accessibility.
