In addition to my academic pursuits, I have a fondness for classical music (I play the flute) and Argentine tango. As an animal enthusiast, I once had a chinchilla who, after living the high life, passed away in early 2024. Now, I’m under the watchful eye of a charming little cat I adopted, who graciously allows me to share his home.
