I am a translator, musician, teacher, wife and mother. I play a viola made by Martin Schleske and a cello made by Edward Geesman. Both instruments have rich stories that interweave with the fabric of my life, which has been full of joy and sorrow, but above all, gratitude to the all-knowing, all-compassionate, all-loving Creator. I am dedicated to language learning and I am currently working to improve my Russian, Spanish, French, and Korean and am learning a little Mandarin and Hungarian as well.
