About Me

I play the viola. I perform with Leah-Carla Gordone and Her Band. I study women in music. I enjoy writing, and politics, and occasionally cooking. Some words make me giggle - like cocktail and hexachordal combinatoriality. My mind is always wandering. I like fall, and chai, and people who introduce me to music I've never heard before. My cat is spoiled, my hair is long, and I never seem to have enough time.

My Interests

viola, feminism, wine, books (not just reading them), backpacking europe, ethnomusicology, feminist musicology, talking about my cat, heroines, working out, learning to cook, telling pointless stories, wandering, sound, silence, thrift stores, chocolate, procrastination, alaska, happy hour, akward silences, owning my own private island
