Hobbies

I love to read and write, and while I'm passionate about psychology I also have a love of history, sports, statistics, videogames, and especially music. I've been writing music since I was 12, play guitar, piano, and vocals; and have even played live paid gigs. I played basketball through high school, soccer through college, and have coached both sports in the past.
