(The Good)

At this moment in time I am working towards a Masters degree in the field of English. Though University does dominate a considerable portion of my time, I do enjoy getting away from it all and spending my time how I see fit.

I prefer to spend my free time writing music and playing piano and guitar alongside several close friends. Other hobbies and activities include: mountain biking (trail riding), baseball (I play competitively for both Edmonton and Calgary, AB),and attending various film and social events throughout the year.

My long term goal is to produce music while simultaneously working for various developing countries' education programs. I have a keen interest in the arts - particularly music and film, and do not discriminate against any type.
