More About Me
When I am not playing bassoon, making reeds or completing my schoolwork, I enjoy a variety of activities! These activities include reading for fun, watching my favorite TV shows, crocheting, and going for walks along local nature trails. I also enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my two cats, Kami and Kara!
