You can find me spending as much time as possible:
-in the air practicing and performing circus and aerial arts
-outdoors, hiking, swimming, running, practicing yoga
-with my two cats Indigo and Jade
-reading Kurt Vonnegut novels
-chasing concerts and writing about them
-attending local Albany shows
-following the New York Rangers a bit too closely.
