about my interest in foreign languages and cultures fluent in English, proficient in Polish, familiar with Spanish, Italian, German and Russian and in process of studying all of them [however lightly because of other studies and activities]. I have been to Europe six times and have spent more than a combined year overseas. This gives me not only a familiarity with European and Slavic people and culture but an ease of overseas adaptability. Also I am a first generation Polish immigrant, who grew up 4 miles north of the Texas - Mexico border and was raised amidst a mix of three cultures. A Polish family and background, Mexican friends, culture and surroundings while in America and saturated with its influences. return to resume
