Elliot Jackson (born 15 May, 1989 in Charlottesville, Virginia) is currently an undergraduate studying German Literature and Linguistics. He also does not like talking about himself, so this page will probably appear sparse at first.

He first gained an interest in the German language after studying Spanish for a few years in middle and high school. Frustrated by the school's lack of an exchange program to a Spanish-speaking country, he opted to start learning German alongside Spanish so that he could spend time in Germany in 2005-2006 (first in Berlin, then in Freiburg im Breisgau). Overtaken by a new enthusiasm for the German language and culture, he vowed to study German at the university level to help him acquire fluency of the language. Along the way he has also dabbled in Polish, Arabic, and Italian in the classroom, as well as French, Russian, Czech, Norwegian, Dutch, and Turkish independently.

His work experience also includes having worked as a lifeguard at a private swimming pool in Ivy, Virginia and over three-years of working as a barista in both Charlottesville and Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Currently, he has no concrete path set for him after college, but if all goes well, he will probably end up moving to the American Southwest with his boyfriend in search of new adventures(?).
