Chris says: “After graduating from Brown in 2012, I moved to Thailand where I taught English/math. There I fell in love with learning Thai and I ended up starting a business of Thai to English translation. I came back in 2015 to resume teaching in the Boston area, but have always been fascinated with languages. Work aside, my life-long passion though has probably been art. In high school I received the Art Prize for my graduating class, something I’ve always been very proud of. Now in my free time I use traditional oil paints as well as digital painting with Photoshop. Mostly I paint pictures of my two cats, but I also got to collaborate on a film last year where I storyboarded over 100 illustrations for their animation sequences. When I’m not doing art, working on my Thai or math, I might be outside going for walks or playing a video game.”
