About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save the world through music.

ABOUT ME

I'm a hard working, enthusiastic 22 year old who misses astronomy and textile design. I have the best job in the world (I run a music education non-profit for all ages and skill levels), and that's pretty much all I do these days. I know, I know, you shouldn't let your work define you, but it's more of a way of life than a job. You can check out our programs here: www.thehmc.ca.

PHILOSOPHY

Look at the sky and help people.

Music, Movies, and Books

For books, I have an undying affection for children's literature and captivating non-fiction. For movies, I'll watch anything, no matter how high brow or deliciously bad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: habutai silk dyeworks, textile surface design, basic embroidery, practical astronomy, communications theory and strategic planning for non-profits, Hungarian folk dancing, how to cook a full Korean dinner, how to play the violin, basic music theory, and a whole bunch of schoolyard games that were way more fun when we could run for hours without getting tired.

I'd like to learn: how to bake muffins that don't taste like drywall, new songs, what you think about the education system, how to properly use a high quality video camera, how to do a handstand, better ways to chill out (especially when you can't sleep), and how to make couscous more interesting.
