CURRENT MISSION

bring peace, kindness and music to creatures of al sorts and hoping to learn a bit about others and myself in return.

ABOUT ME

I'm a music therapist currently working with children and adults with developmental delays in a home and school setting. I absolutely LOVE what I do and can't believe I actually get to do this daily! I love music... playing and listening.

PHILOSOPHY

"...people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

I believe in love.

"First people lived in caves. Next, they lived in houses. Finally, they lived in Mars as they studied sciences. People are not penguins, they are not machines, people may have swine flu if they don't get vaccines." -Keli, 14, Non-verbal Autism

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working with children and adults with developmental dissabilities never ceases to amaze me daily. I believe that is where my optimistic outlook mostly stems from. Never have I known people to work harder, endure more pain and make such amazing strides than those I get to work with daily. Very fortunate.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn more about music, art and cultures. I'm always looking for new perspectives on daily activities and in life in general.
