CURRENT MISSION

I want to hear about as many lifestyles as possible!

ABOUT ME

I am going to grad school in music theory, and it's a wonderful learning experience. I live in a co-op in Eugene, and it's a great place to share ideas and develop life-long friendships. Best of all, since it's a huge house, we have plenty of extra couches!

PHILOSOPHY

I personally think that it's better to travel all over the world than to stay in one place. You learn more by experiencing life outside of your comfort zone. All the same, it's nice to have a home to come home to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach all things crafty in nature: knitting, crocheting, hand and machine sewing, needlepoint. I can also give mini voice lessons, and music theory lessons. I also love to jam with people, though I'm mostly an acoustic guitar-type performer. My co-op has a band, the Alder St. All-Stars, and they jam every night, much to the chagrin of my homework.
