Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen to the most is indie rock, jazz, EDM, Motown, and 1970s pop. I am actually a jazz singer and do gigs sometimes! I also love reading, especially re-reading books from my childhood, so right now I am reading The Princess Diaries (lol).

For movies, I like chickflicks and comedies but also really appreciate a good mind-bender that poses some kind of philosophical question.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a pod for 1.5 years!! Long story...

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be a reading teacher so I can teach kids (elementary through middle school) how to sound out words; can also teach textbook note-taking skills to older kids and speed-reading to high schoolers/ adults
Can teach basic French
Can teach basic website-building and graphic design (suuuper basic, like how to use Wix and Canva)
Can teach therapeutic skills such as what to say to comfort someone when they are sad/ upset (and so many other things; I can talk about therapy techniques for hours!)
