I was born and raised in Mongolia up until the age of six when my parents moved to New England whereupon I started my formal education. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh majoring in Political Science and am currently conducting a Masters of Modern East Asian Studies at the Goethe University of Frankfurt.

I am fluent and literate in Mongolian, English, German, Russian, conversational Japanese, and am studying Chinese, and Korean.

My passions include: sustainability, languages & linguistics, comparative foreign policies, current events, Khöömii aka Mongolian throat-singing, classical literature, art, history, calligraphy, chess, combat sports, neuroscience, travelling, hiking, cooking, ethnomusicology, and much more.
