Music<\/span><\/h2>\n

Piano<\/h4>\n

I have been playing piano since I was six years old, starting at the New School for Music study. Although I am not a music major, at Skidmore I have continued my musical training at the college level which has been an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experience. The image to the left is an example of my Professor’s extensive annotations on my sheet music.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My favorite pieces are: Fantasie No. 3 in D minor by Mozart, Barcarolle Op. 37, No. 6 by Tschaikowsky, and Sonata No.1 in F Minor, Op.2 by Beethoven.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cooking and Baking<\/span><\/h2>\n

Food<\/h4>\n

Growing up in a multicultural household with two parents that both love to cook and enjoy meals together as a family, food has always been one of my passions. What started off as the simple joy I experienced from eating my father\u2019s delicious Chinese dishes and my mothers extravagant breakfast buffets on Sunday mornings, transformed into a passion for baking, which then developed into my love for savory cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I love the most about cooking and baking is not the process itself, but the sharing of my creations with others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
