I’m a worldly person. I collect and connect my experiences to expand and grow.

WHAT
WE'RE ABOUT
Being bicultural and flowing smoothly from one culture to another makes me focus my identity in the crossover of different disciplines, different cultures, and/or different points of view. This allows me to become a “well rounded person,” which is a strong cultural value.
A key aspect of my mindset is my sense of belonging to American culture with a strong awareness of how we are changing its meaning.
