ABOUT ME

I am a Sagittarius... I love to travel and experience new friends and cultures! I am very fun, easygoing, and up for adventure. I am willing to share anything I know with you.

Some main characteristics about me are that I am an opera singer and language enthusiast. I am a French and Music teacher at a private high school in Upstate New York. I teach piano and voice privately as well. I would love to learn any and all languages.

I also compose music to great English poems and am starting to write some operas -- I have a life goal to turn all of Jane Austen's novels into operas! :)

PHILOSOPHY

The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.
