Over time, one starts to recognize strengths and general weaknesses of oneself. I have found my strengths are building strong networks, eager to meet and socialize with new people, and a patience when times get stressful. I have a strong loyalty to friends, coworkers, and brands that represent intrinsic values I can stand behind. I know basic levels in Swedish, Italian, and Spanish and interested in leading trips in Italy and Sweden. I spent my college years tutoring elementary students and working summer camps. Post college, I taught high school students how to DJ and work in the music industry. I am open to any location, and typically will seek out traditional and local music scenes in any area.
