- About me
- I am currently doing my undergraduate work in music performance at the University of Arizona in Tucson. I play the euphonium, and double on the trombone and electric bass. I am from Flagstaff Arizona and love the desert and the ocean. In addition to music, I enjoy slam poetry, science of all kinds, writing, reading, and thinking philosophically (or trying to).
I am an atheist, but accepting of all religious philosophies.
I am an ally to the LGBTQ community, and anyone who needs an ear to scream to.
