Extracurricular

I am a talented and avid guitar player, and for many years have frequented open mic, jam or gig sessions where I can relish in performance. I love discovering new artists in the local music scene, and sharing my own art with people from all walks of life with a diverse range of talents and personalities. I am passionate about the sense of community that sharing music this way brings and has given me a swath of experience in mingling with people of diversity by being welcoming, warm and conscientious. I bring an up-beat, fun loving  and inclusive energy to my performance on stage as well as with my interactions with the audience, with an appreciation for their time and presence. People describe me as friendly, cheerful and relatable and find ease in conversing with me.


Between work and music, I find peace in going on many lengthy walks in the local nature and spending quality time with my partner. Where I am around people the vast majority of my working and leisure time, I find keeping fit and regularly active is important for my well-being as it brings me a sense of focus and calm.
