Student. Geek. Linguist in training. Welcome!

A surprise in the Linguistics lounge earlier today. A fellow colleague baked this amazing cake — Happy pi day, everyone 👌🏽 #food #foodie #food coma #piday #newyork #nyc #manhattan (at The Graduate Center, CUNY)

Blind Alley (Raccoon Cafe) in Seoul. 😱 #raccooncafe #friends #travel #seoul #korea (at Blind Alley)

It’s been real, Seoul. Life changing experiences all around. 🙏🏽🙇🏽 #me #self #travel #reflection #friends #seoul #korea (at Seoul, South Korea)

//re_set// — got to quality time with some of the closest people in my life before departure. Wishing you all a Happy New Year! 🙏🏽🙇🏽 #me #self #travel #newyear #newyork #nyc #queens

Mom: “Do you want to take a little bit of leftovers home?” Me: “Sure, maybe enough for a day or two.” Mom: 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽 😂 — 💖(Thanks Mom). #posthanksgiving #leftovers #thiswillprobablylastmeaweekormore #newyork #funny #random #nyc #queens #flushing #justmomthings

I have survived mom’s yearly Thanksgiving onslaught of food. It was great to catch up with friends and family (having my other two brothers in one place is rare enough haha). Happy thanksgiving to all who celebrate — best wishes to you and your families! #me #self #thanksgiving #family #food #foodie #foodcoma #foodporn #newyork #nyc #queens

The view that constantly reminds me of the grander things in life and why I continue calling this city my home. 🙏🏽🙇🏽. #views #newyork #nyc #dusk #evening #sunset #beauty #sky #commute

Never. Forget. The supreme catalyst for ideation. A solid reminder of why we must all band together, especially now. #memory #reflection #911memorial #911 #ideation #newyork #nyc (at One World Trade Center)

Big thanks to @danaesque for picking up this luchador mask as a present on her travels through Mexico during the summer. Now I have something to don if I ever decide to fight crime and/or get into underground wrestling to support my studies (don't judge me 😂). Any ideas for aliases? Haha #friend #present #luchador #luchalibre #mask #somethinghastopaythebills #newyork #nyc #queens #flushing

Beef currywurst from the Chelsea Market. Simply godlike.. 👌🏽🙏🏽🙇🏽. #food #foodie #foodcoma #foodporn #chelseamarket #newyork #nyc (at Chelsea, Manhattan)

So apparently Reinhardt trains at my gym guys 😱 -- so this is what you're up to when you're not escorting payloads and defending objectives...I apologize for the crappy quality, I would've got ult'ed on otherwise.. 😂 #reinhardt #overwatch #blizzard #pc #nerdstuff #gym #training #newyork #nyc #queens (at LA FITNESS SPORTS CLUB @ LAKE SUCCESS ,NY)

A group of (presumably) freshmen heading towards the Queens College campus. Sending my silent blessings your way -- the campus has played a major role in who I am today. The obstacles I've faced, the people I've met, and most importantly -- the personal growth/Orientation that has been achieved...it all began here. I really do hope it does the same for you all. Although I've entered a completely different world, I'll be sending good vibes your way. All the best kiddos, it's going to be one hell of a ride. 🙏🏽🙇🏽 #freshmen #queenscollege #cuny #classof2021 #oldman #👴🏽 #newyork #nyc #queens #flushing (at Queens College)

It has begun. 💪🏽🙏🏽🙇🏽 #gradcenter #orientation #gradschool #cuny #newyork #nyc

Believe it or not, this was the first picture of myself I've ever decided to upload online...many, many years ago haha. Even though the way forward is a constant, it's important to glimpse back once in a while. #me #self #memories #reflection #imold #newyork #nyc #queens #flushing

Behind each ID there is (or will be) a story tied to it. What seemed like a blur and lifetime of experiences all rolled up into one. I had to go through a very DMV-like procedure to get my Grad Center ID today in the morning -- and unfortunately my expression reflects that.. 😂 . If the past is any indicator, the drive to keep pushing forward must remain strong. About one more week until classes start in full swing. As always, thank you for your support and encouragement (you know who you are) -- I definitely won't let you down. 🙏🏽🙇🏽💪🏽. #me #self #id #college #undergrad #graduateschool #gradschool #newyork #nyc #queens #flushing

My dear friend and coworker got this for me when we were attending the Groundhog Day musical. It's a solid reminder that time is priceless; we need to make the most of each moment presented to us. With that said, the clock is ticking. . . ⏰🙏🏽🙇🏽 #time #reflection #groundhogday #groundhogdaythemusical #friend #friends #newyork #nyc #queens #flushing
