I grew up learning the English language (mother's an English teacher, kind of inevitable) and that ignited a love for languages at a VERY young age. I studied German and French in high school and that resulted in 3 language diplomas: English - C2; German - C1; French - B2. I am also an avid reader and had a literature teacher who helped me discover various ways to be creative. I took that a step further and applied it in every aspect of my life (actually wrote a fairy tale for a Chemistry project once).
