When I’m not tutoring, I appreciate and delve into what embraces language, pets, science, music, and nature: Botany & Environmental Science: I explore plant biology and ecological systems, and I share educational content through my small business’ Pinterest page, promoting awareness and stewardship. I also work on my agricultural invention to help plants grow faster utilizing organic systems. As an inventor, I find that there is no limit to what can be possible and positive in combination. Gardening & Nature Walks,Sports: Living in Upstate New York, I find peace and inspiration in the natural world. I love gardening–both wildlife gardening and fruit/vegetable gardening. I also enjoy using plant communication technology gadgets like Midi Sprout. Swimming and tennis are my favorite sports—and they are most enjoyable in ocean beach/ park settings, though I do not get a chance often to enjoy these sports. (I used to be a competitive tennis player during my high school years--traveling to top tennis training facilities and competing in tournaments). Pet Companionship: My two beloved dogs remind me daily of love, empathy, humor, responsibility, and play. Classical Music: I have studied and play on a wide range of recorders (from sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, bass, great bass) including participation in chamber music group workshops and university music workshops when I was in New York City. Music deepens my appreciation for history, emotion, intellectual pursuit, and awareness. I also enjoy listening to a variety of music. Writing & Research: I enjoy contributing to public knowledge platforms like Wikipedia, where I’ve published articles on diverse topics. Cultural Studies & Philosophy: I’m fascinated by how ideas shape societies. I read widely in the humanities and love discussing the big questions, the day-to-day realities, and the obscure. Baking/Cooking: I enjoy preparing gourmet meals when I can and creating healthy food that tastes like junk food. In the past, my publishing/marketing business was listed in Who's Who for two years--this was after graduating from Syracuse University. Back then I enjoyed to network a lot in New York City, and that went on for about two decades, including many years after I graduated from New York University. Later as the years progressed, I became more meditative living in Upstate, New York and decided to work on agricultural growing inventions, and this brought more welcoming solitude for helping with a deeper thought process.
