I'm a 23-year-old music teacher living near New York City. My passions are art, literature, philosophy, and politics. In the summer I enjoy hiking, tubing, boating, picnics, and anything else that gets me outside on a nice day.

I love both playing/performing music, as well as seeing live shows. The area where I live has an large underground music network, so I enjoy seeing local bands with new and old friends.

In general, my one rule of life is to say yes to everything I can, especially the stuff that scares me. So if there is an opportunity for adventure, I'm usually trying to take it.

I get along best with open-minded people who are always interested in learning from the school of life :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I participated in an indigenous ayahuasca ceremony with a few strangers in Brooklyn. Several hours of intense hallucinations in the pitch dark resulted in one of the most clarifying experiences of my life. I'm super grateful for that night.
