I’m Nicole! Language lover and lifelong learner. I started out studying political science and sociology, but eventually found my way to languages. Now, I spend my days exploring Spanish, Chinese, and the cultures that make them so wonderful. Words, whether in literature, lyrics, or history, and the stories they tell have always fascinated me.

Beyond language, I have a deep love for mythology, advocacy, and a well-crafted argument (about social justice or which chair reigns supreme). If I’m not analyzing someone’s birth chart or buried in homework at the language lab or library, I’m probably with my adorable cat, Lily.

This blog is a space for everything that moves me: language, culture, social issues, and the occasional deep dive into a rabbit hole of curiosity. Stick around for my latest linguistic discoveries, music obsessions, and whatever else I can’t shut up about.
