I love writing and learning new things in order to better educate those in need. I also enjoy hackathons and adventures around the world.

Joseph Mozier (August 22, 1812 – October 3, 1870) was an American sculptor active in Italy.
He was born in Burlington, Vermont in 1812. In 1831 he moved to New York City where worked as a merchant. He retired from business around 1845, and shortly afterward went to Europe, studying sculpture for several years in Florence, after which he moved to Rome.
His best-known work is Undine, the title character in the novella by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, a water nymph who falls in love with a man. He won a grand prize for it in Rome in 1867.
He made a short visit to the United States in 1870, and was hospitalized upon his return in London, England. He died in Faids, Switzerland, while en route to his home in Italy.
