Musician, academic, union leader. So grateful to be able to weave music into many aspects of my life: scores cataloging & musicology @ Univ of PA; gigging violist; serious classical recording hobbyist; obsessive art music listener; married to a pianist.
No money for wages? But money for budget analysts? Here's some free analysis: put that damn salary into our wage increases. To post this position during active negotiations during a "hiring freeze" is next-level chutzpah. Penn, do better.

Starbucks near U Penn Library are making their voices heard!! Proud to support my Union siblings in their fight for a fair contract.

This is fun! Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie: Quadruple Indemnity
Happy one month anniversary of the day we gotcha to Joey II. You’ve made yourself feel right at home. And that makes us so happy.
Let the shenanigans commence! Our new adopted cat, Joey, decided tonight was the best time to summit Mount China Cabinet. A very smug kitty clearly likes his new-found perch.
Shameless plug for my community orchestra: If you think John Williams' music is cool, come hear the OG bad-ass composer Anton Bruckner. Lower Merion Symphony plays Symphony no. 8 Sunday, January 19 3 pm Goodhart Hall, Bryn Mawr College 150 N. Merion Ave., Bryn Mawr, PA
Happiness is putting a new set of strings on my viola. They settle quickly & sound glorious. Bring on the holiday gigs!
Poor Three-Toes! All this time away from her DC office she's completely forgotten that she has a staff who each could be tasked with reading & summarizing a portion of the budget bill. But she'd much rather whine about it. Pro tip: cut out the podcasts, Trump rallies, & the other BS & get to work!
