CURRENT MISSION

To inspire, be inspired, learn, love, and create.

ABOUT ME

I'm a music teacher, dog-lover, and red-wine-enthusiast. I was a singer/songwriter in NYC before moving to Manizales, Colombia where I teach English and write for a travel magazine. I love cooking, learning, discovering, and exploring. I have a lot of stories, and I'd love to hear yours.

Also, I'm clean and respectful. I'll sing you a song or cook you a meal for a couch!

PHILOSOPHY

"There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind"
