I’m keeping in mind the new challenges and realities we are all facing so expect different types of work–I’m hoping to make it fun and for you to be able to do it when you can. Please reach out if there’s anything I should be aware of, any special considerations you need. I am open and flexible.

Wash your hands, keep your distance!
