Experience
I have extensive knowledge of philosophy, creative writing, poetry, grammar, essay preparation, efficient reading skills, sociology, basic French, Sanskrit, basic psychology, religious studies etc. I have taken the GRE-s and would be very helpful in preparing for both the written and verbal portions of that test. I know much about the academic system and would be useful to consult with respect to potential career paths and at which universities they might be best pursued.

Hobbies
I enjoy Swimming, Hiking, Meditation, Yoga, Science-Fiction, Exploring Oahu. I am originally from the Pacific Northwest but lived in Northern California most of my adult life. I enjoy Oahu because it offers the best of what the big city has to offer while maintaining quieter and more laid back areas to relax. I love the North Shore, Hunuama Bay, Kokohead, and the Manoa Valley.
