Personal Hobbies

Music has been an important part of my life since my early childhood.  I incorporate music in teaching any subject. I find it extremely useful since it's fun and easy for students to learn. I also love to play the guitar, piano, ukulele, and the bass guitar. Cooking is another one of my passions which I incorporate in my daily life.
