I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I was born in Seattle on an early Summer morning way back in the 70's. I'm an italian girl at heart who grew up around music and a loving family.
I play violin, viola, piano, guitar, bass and i'm learning cello. I enjoy playing with others and being in bands. There's nothing as fun as playing live music, except for being outdoors or hanging out with friends.
I am a skiier who is taking up snowboarding this year and i'm very stoked about it. My boyfriend got me the coolest Never Summer board ever and I can't wait to strap in and see what snowboarding is all about.

My Interests

Making Music: VIOLIN,Viola, Cello, Singing, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Writing, Recording

I LOVE The Outdoors - Hiking/backpacking, Camping, skiing, Snowboarding, Nature, Kayaking, Rafting.
I also love going to concerts, hanging out with friends, the arts, being creative, sewing and painting.

You Are an Indie Rocker!
You are in it for the love of the music...
And you couldn't care less about being signed by a big label.
You're all about loving and supporting music - not commercial success.
You may not have the fame and glory, but you have complete control of your career. What Kind of Rocker Are You?

Your Dominant Intelligence is Musical Intelligence
Every part of your life has a beat, and you're often tapping your fingers or toes.
You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time.
You are probably a gifted musician of some sort - even if you haven't realized it.
Also a music lover, you tend to appreciate artists of all kinds.

You would make a great musician, disc jockey, singer, or composer. What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?
