Fun Facts

I finished a Master's degree in Mediterranean history in 2012. I spent countless hours reading the work of Italian journalists in Eritrea and Ethiopia. I love archives and historical collections. In High School, the kids called me Mr. History. It has always been my favorite subject, and my passion for it has never faltered. I keep so many old books, especially history books, in my room that I, more-or-less, have many makeshift coffee tables. Music is my second passion, next to reading and histor

About Me

I recently graduated from NYU with a Master's degree in Mediterranean studies. I went to college for History. I have lived abroad in two different countries. In 2010, I lived in Mendoza, Argentina. I worked on a winery as a quality control assist to the chemist. In 2011, I lived in Florence, Italy, spending most of my time doing archival research and fine tuning my language skills. I speak Italian and Spanish, and I am currently working on Portuguese. Last year I had a job where I organized a small collection of newspapers printed in Barcelona between 1900 and 1970. This small project allowed me to pick up some Catalan. At present, I work for a small non-profit organization dedicated to child welfare in state foster care. In my freetime, I take language lessons and play guitar. The musical qualities of language makes learning a hobby for myself. I really enjoy reading and talking about what I have read with others. My preference, above all other genres, is historical non-fiction, especially economic history. Although I read a lot of history, I also enjoy my fair share of literature. I can talk for hours on end about my favorite writers from Latin America.
