About Me:
I work with the VLBA as a telescope operator. I'm also going to school part-time to get a degree in Math (I already have one in Physics). In addition to chess, I enjoy anime, J-Pop, J-Drama (I'm pretty much obsessed with all things Japanese), science fiction, gaming (video, tabletop, and pen/paper RPGs), and Belly Dancing. Mainly, I'm a Doumbek (a type of drum) player for my school's Belly Dance troupe, but I've also recently begun learning how to dance, as well. I love to play the White side of a King's Gambit. However, I'm now trying to learn more about the positional side of chess. I hope to play in more Chess Tournaments (I've been out of the loop for a few years), but unfortunately, NM only has a few tournaments throughout the year.
