Teach, Learn, Share

I can give short music lessons on drums, piano, or ukulele. I can also tutor in creative writing. I enjoy cooking as well, and love to bring creativity to the kitchen. I've been told I make a killer guacamole, so that can be arranged anywhere avocados are present.

Learn: Anything. I'm eager to try new things. Teach me what you know!
