Description
Hi! I am a music therapist originally from Nebraska and currently living in Minnesota. Music is a big passion of mine - I love getting song/artist/band suggestions from people and listening to the different nuances each artist brings to their music. As part of my job, I use music to help individuals with special needs and/or mental health conditions work toward non-musical goals such as self esteem, sustained attention, and regulation. Instruments I play and teach are piano, guitar, ukulele, and saxophone.
Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of activities such as puzzles, crochet, volleyball, playing Zelda, and being in nature. I value the little things in life so, while traveling can be a big adventure, I appreciate the opportunity to slow down and just be. :)

More details about your skills
As someone who has a variety of interests, I have some random skills and am always curious to learn more. On my journey to becoming a music therapist, I obtained degrees in music, psychology, and (of course) music therapy while also working in retail or banking (during undergrad) or a group home for individuals with severe mental health conditions (during grad school). Through these experiences, I have learned not only the importance of self-care, but how to care for others. I deeply care for everyone around me and am always willing to help out any way I can.
Both at work and home, I enjoy doing things with my hands. I am often doing some sort of craft in my downtime and have even built some custom shelving for the office I work at. I also love cleaning and organizing - I made it part of my job to maintain our office space. On past Workaway experiences, I have excavated overgrown garden plots (which was very possibly my favorite part of the trip), cared for pets, and deep cleaned my host's house.

What else ...
Although I am adventurous, I can be shy. It may take some time for me to warm up to a new environment or I may feel I need some alone time until I feel more comfortable.
