I love music, bikes, food, cooking, fun, dancing, sweetness, beauty and life! I play the euphonium in a New Orleans-style brass band. I work at an academic archive where I get to handle really amazing historic documents from people like Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Beecher Stowe. I also work part-time at an invention camp for kids! My specialty is helping kids make musical instruments out of recycled materials.
