CURRENT MISSION

Meet as many people as possible, and grow accordingly.

ABOUT ME

I'm super laid back and relaxed. Music means everything to me. I have a voracious appetite for art-- I am a gormandizer of all things musical and literary. I seek out meaningful conversations with people, and am always eager to learn. If you're inclined to crack open my mind, I'm inclined to let you.

I'm tidy but not pedantic. My space is small but comfortable, and I'm happy to share it with you.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle." It may be J.M. Barrie's personal philosophy, but I've adopted it as my own. It takes virtually no energy to be extra kind, and yet many people are unwilling to expend it, or unaware that they ought to. Awareness and empathy are the driving forces behind my kindness, and I make a daily, conscious effort to be altruistic, humble, and to leave things just a little bit better than how I found them.
