I love our new Little Free Library. (The old one was getting a little weather worn from ten years in the rain, snow, and sun.) Looking forward to neighbors coming by to take and drop off books! #LittleFreeLibrary #Library #Litearacy #ReadingJoy

Looking forward to playing music together with members of the Washington Conservatory of Music Orchestra. For folks around the #DMV area December 8th, come check it out! #Orchestra #Cello

Hi! I am having fun getting to know this community. I work for a nonprofit focused on literacy and life skills programming around the world. I am a former Peace Corps Hillside Farming Volunteer. I am a retired gymnast. I love playing cello with a wonderful community orchestra.
