ABOUT ME

I've recently quit my job and relocated to Paris for graduate school in theatre and the performing arts.

PHILOSOPHY

"Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." (Confucius) I find beauty in nature, in art, in people, and in transformation.

音乐、电影和书籍

Books that have changed my life in the past few years: The Places That Scare You, Pema Chodron; The Art of Possibility, Ben and Rosamund Zander; The Medici Effect, Frans Johansson; Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, Barbara Kingsolver; Community: The Structure of Belonging, Peter Block.
My favorite poet is Mary Oliver.
At the moment, I'm reading The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz and A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan.

Movies: I gravitate toward documentaries. I also love beautifully told stories. There are some cult comedies I've watched more than 10 times: Airplane! and Office Space come to mind.

Music: Fairly omnivorous here. I have something like 30 Pandora stations, from Explosions in the Sky to Early Blues to Brazilian.
