Hello all! I'm Nina, a happy music therapist hailing from the sweet lands of Pittsburgh, PA. Things about me... as you may have guessed from "music therapist," I'm a musician, enjoying biking (I occasionally pedicab), and am a lover of art + nature.
Free time is usually spent with friends. There are some things that I'm good at (like making the same 3-5 food dishes over and over), but listing my likes/dislikes and personal qualities isn't necessarily one of them—so! Feel free to ask me questions. If nothing else, know that I believe in kindness and empathy to others above all else.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like lotsa music. Indie, folk, rock (which could mean anything), I have a penchant for 30's & 40's-era pop music... I mean, I like plenty of books (though I'm not well-read as I'm a slow reader) and movies too. This is a lot of work; can we talk it out? If we don't have the same tastes, I'm guessing we can still be friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I woke up today. I think that's pretty incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to share my friendship. I could teach you how to drink beers, crochet, and sew.
How's about discussion? Always down for some chit-chat with an open-minded, expressive fellow person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chats, dish-washin/chores, I'll make you food if you want but I'd bet you can do it better.
