About Me

I am the Official Boomerang Fish Thrower, but in a Hoopskirt.

I really like Collard greens.

I'm in a little crew called the illustrious Awalim Dance Company. We really really like middle eastern & north african music, and we particularly are in love with odd time signatures. Bring it on. We pride ourselves in our own signature blend of traditional aesthetic and modern technicality. Check us out at www.awalim.com.

I'm also in school for Medical Illustration. I draw body parts.

I also also really love CHOO CHOOS!!!!!

I also also also really really like to play drums, mainly the darbuka (dumbek, tabla) & bendir (tar, def, frame drum.) I can also rock out with them fanger cymbals.
