CURRENT MISSION

kindness prevails

ABOUT ME

I teach music to children in Philadelphia. I like to travel, grow food, write music, balance on things, dance, cook, read books, dig in dirt, ride bikes!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live in a way where I have compassion for others and for myself so that I can be open and kind with all those I meet. I also recognize that kindness doesn't always work out that way and I value standing up for and helping folks who are being pushed around by society or by troubles in their own lives. I think my personal philosophy is a lot simpler than it used to be, and I like that.
