蒂姆拥有戏剧和哲学双学位. 竞技宝app下载安装给了他宝贵的机会去探索不同的研究. "I was drawn to the theatre and philosophy programs and quickly realized these would be not only my majors, but my passions as well. Philosophy has influenced every aspect of my life and I grew tremendously in the program. I was exposed to many different thinkers and types of philosophy and each class served to shape the mindset I have today and the way I view the world around me," he says.
