CURRENT MISSION

To immerse myself in other cultures. To be engaged with all types of people around the world! To never stop growing, and to continually learn from other people of all cultures and ethnicities :)

ABOUT ME

I am a hardworking, fun loving person. I love to laugh, and value a hearty sense of humor in others. I am pursuing my masters degree in piano performance at Portland State University. I currently teach class piano as adjunct faculty at PSU and also teach private piano lessons at the community arts center, as well as out of my own home. I am addicted to running and do it almost every day. I love music, people, food, drink, sun and adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

I seek to be a lifelong learner through the people I meet and the situations I find myself in. I aim to continually experience internal growth and obtain depth as a person throughout my life, and desire to contribute to my community in any way I can. I believe that relationships with people of all walks of life is essential for a balanced life, and seek to love others and myself more each day through what I do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm still pretty young and have a lot of amazing experiences to be had... This is a really tough question to pin down!!! Get back to me after I travel around Europe ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share musicianship with whomever hosts me! I would be happy to play piano for you, and teach you this amazing instrument if you would like to!
I also love to laugh... So I can definitely bring humor to the table:)
