Location: Eastside Milwaukee
About me: I work at the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and enjoy the arts scene, but I am tone deaf and can barely draw a stick figure. I have really neat handwriting, does that count as being artistic? I love to run, bike, play tennis, soccer, kickball, salsa dance and watch foreign/indie movies. I am fluent in Spanish and my Palestinean grandmother is bitter that I can't lace together a sentence in Arabic.
