Interests

I’m a trained classical performer and composer, and my work is heavily inspired by place, community, and the natural world. I love spending time with nature, and am seriously passionate about running and biking. I’m also fascinated by Urban Planning, and spend a good part of my free time looking at maps. I’m certified to teach English to speakers of other languages, and am hoping to find work abroad sometime next year.
