My Hobbies
-
I love riding my bicycle and would eventually LOVE to work in an office that allows me to ride my bike to work.
-
I love watching movies of all genres. Oftentimes, my ideal "friends night" is having everyone over to watch a movie in our pajamas. RIght now, one of my favorite production companies is A24.

I love playing the piano, but am not as good as I like to think I am. I've been playing on and off for about 17 years and have a particular appreciation for jazz piano.

I'm almost always listening to music and enjoy attending live performances over the weekends!

Keeping a saltwater aquarium. I am a huge coral fanatic, and at one time had over 40 different species of coral.
