About Me:

My great-grandparents are from Napoli, so I decided to take Italian classes at Hopkins to learn the language. I love Italian culture, Italians :), Italian films, and of course, Italian food! My other interests include indoor rock-climbing, peer-counseling (APTT), baking, and almost all types of music.

About Me:

I took two semesters of Italian my freshman year and spent the summer of ‘07 in Rome. I fell in love with the country, people, culture, and language. Unable to keep taking Italian classes because of other course requirements I wanted to maintain (and perhaps even progress) my spoken Italian. Consequently, my main areas of interest in CIAO! are Language. However, all aspects of Italian culture and life are of interest to me!
