Bio

I am an international student who has dual citizenship and travels often between Michigan and Albania. I feel most at home among the international community but love to explore my two main cultures and their differences. I would describe myself as culturally aware, detail-oriented, and empathetic. I want to study the Bible so that I can interpret it for people who struggle to understand, especially the Old Testament. I believe that the Bible should be available to everyone, and yet I see a lot of confusion and apathy regarding Bible study; my goal is to change that mindset. My dream is to eventually create an impactful, faith-based piece of media that reaches many people and show them who God is. I'm also planning to study in Jerusalem while I'm at Wheaton for the cultural settings that are tied to my studies. My hobbies include reading, writing poetry, travelling, and hanging out with my friends (and neighborhood pets). I love helping others and making people laugh.
