Hobbies
Teaching is very fulfilling for me, and I always hope to share with my students my enjoyment of the subjects I teach. In my spare time, I love to play the piano. I took lessons for several years and find playing music the perfect way to relax. Rachmaninov, Chopin, and Grieg are some of my favorite composers.
