Magnolia is from Riverside, California, USA. She has lived in Brasília, Brazil for four years. Magnolia's favorite method of accent reduction is singing and making exaggerated voices. She studies the traditional methods of accent reduction and combines them with her background in performing arts. In her own language learning endeavors, Magnolia is always surrounded by music in her target language and humming along to something. She attributes her near-native accents in Portuguese and Spanish to this habit. 

 In her spare time, Magnolia loves to cook, write poetry, and walk in the park when she can. Magnolia is studying her fourth language, French, casually for now. She enjoys fashion and beauty as a form of self-expression. She is an avid reader of fantasy novels and contemporary adult fiction in English. Magnolia loves being an immigrant in Brazil and feels like every day here is a new adventure.
