CURRENT MISSION

absorb everything, and take the time to think about it

ABOUT ME

I'm from the coast but living in Calgary now for education. I am a full-time graduate student, and teach about 20 private piano students. Life is busy but I try to accommodate cs'ers when I can! When not doing something music related, I like to get outdoors for skiing, hiking, or fishing. Very friendly, I really enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them, which is what makes cs an amazing network.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies not so much, but I read everything I can. Favourite authors: Hemingway, Orwell, Dostoevski, etc. Music is my life, classical to be exact, but I like to expose myself to anything that can enrich my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performing Debussy's L'isle joyeuse in the south of France on Bastille Day in 2010 was unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a music teacher and have a piano so would be happy to show anyone the ropes a little! Growing up and living in western Canada, exposure to different language is limited at best, but I work on my French off and on and have recently begun studying German. Be warned, I may ask for your help in these languages! Cooking is also a passion of mine, and next to music, I would say, is the thing I like most to share.
