Hello!

I'm a college drop-out, a laughably bad dancer (but I'm working on it!!), a violin player, an occasional runner, and a girl with a very, very messy room.

I'm learning to play guitar because I want to be able to lead people in making music together, especially kids. I think that a lot of people nowadays have forgotten that creative expression is a really important part of life for EVERYONE, not just so-called "creative geniuses". We are all creative, because we are made in the image of a creative God! With my life, I want to learn as much as I can about making music and art so that I can share what I've learned with other people and encourage them to create as well.

Some other things that matter a lot to me are 1) taking care of the earth and 2) doing my best to eat local organic food. I can't wait for this spring because I am going to have a community garden with some of my friends!

Some of my favorite things are National Public Radio, home-made fruit smoothies, my cat Theo, Earl Grey tea, my cowgirl boots, thunderstorms, Sharpies in lots of different colors, my curly-crazy hair, and the smell of the woods.
