Hey! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I am a Singer, piano player, teacher and composer. I am a very dedicated, driven passionate person. I love poetry, being outside, camping, hiking, jumping on my trampoline, slip and sliding, photography, yoga, coffee and finding new secret places around the city. I love learning new things and reading theory books and instructional manuals. I love quirky things and unique people. I admire people who face their hardships face on without blanketing them with drugs and excessive alcohol use. Enjoying life clear headed is very important to me.

I recently graduated with a music degree in Jazz Vocal Performance. I'm a private voice/piano teacher which I love. This Fall, I'm continuing my education studying Midi Production/Audio Engineering.

Entertaining myself, making people laugh, especially when they get to know me :)

You think we have some things in common, if you like cats/animals, have a great sense of humor, enjoy getting out and about, and know yourself. You do not have to be a great cook, just enjoy cooking with people.
