Biography
In my free time I enjoy choral singing, playing the flute and attending any sort of live performance event (but especially Broadway). I am also an enthusiastic figure skating fan. My household is managed by two cats who very kindly allow me to share their space. I have lived in New England for my entire life, and I love it here but hate the snow.
