Interests

• Hammered dulcimer

I studied hammered dulcimer when I was a little girl.  I enjoy the chance to play it again with many enthusiastic music lovers at Summer Thunder Music Band in Tuscon.

• Travel

I love traveling with my family and friends.  I hope I could make more friends and experience different cultures all over the world.
