HOBBIES
Nature Observation and Language Learning
Observing nature gives me a convenient way to refresh during busy work days. Additionally, learning languages brings me great pleasure. I am currently studying Arabic, Hebrew and Russian, and am eager to learn more languages. Exploring a variety of languages has taught me a lot about different cultures. Furthermore, I find it fascinating how the same thought processes can be expressed in various languages using similar or different systems. This passion drives my commitment to translation.
