Singer, songwriter, scribbler. Originally from Canada, now in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By day, I work on songs to pitch to recording artists. By night, I entertain drunk people at a piano bar. Somewhere in between, I write about music, love, letting go, and my quest for immortality. I have two terrific cats, one wonderful boyfriend, and too many ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My life as a musician has had many ups and downs. Right now is fortunately an up, but there were definitely down times when I was grateful to have friends who let me crash on their couches. This is my way of paying it forward, and earning some good karma for the inevitable next time I'm down.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, recipe ideas, and music practice tips! I have a bunch of instruments and would love to jam with any guests, even if you only play a little. I just ask that you be kind and treat my things with the same care you would treat your own.
