One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Taiwan with only super basic skills in Chinese and studied on my own for 2 years until I became an interpreter for the board of elections in New York.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have 3 years experience teaching English, so I can help you improve your conversation skills. I can also teach you some Chinese. I'm a professional musician as well so I can share my music with you and teach you many instruments ( mainly ukulele, guitar, piano, and drums). I'm also a good chef and can cook some traditional vegetarian dishes from around the world. I specialize in sweets.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my music with you. I play everyday, so if I have an instrument, I'll play for you. I can also share my cooking skills, I specialize in vegetarian food and desserts. I also have knowledge of martial arts and yoga, well many subjects, too.
