Play
What do I do outside of work?
- I play cello and jaw harp in a groovy trad fusion dance band. We’ve been together since 2016 and have performed for dances and festivals from Indiana to Florida to Montreal. I also run live sound for dances. And dance.
- I enjoy experimenting with new dessert recipes. (Now that it’s been a few years since I worked in a kitchen, this is fun again!)
- I dabble in various fiber crafts - quilting, knitting, crochet, embroidery, etc. I’m pretty project-oriented, so I get an idea for something I want to make and teach myself how to do it, then set that craft aside until I’m inspired by another project idea.
