Sensitive to the emotions a place conveys, I was captivated by the culture and history of New Orleans. I enjoy strolling the streets surrounded by trees and lush nature. I like to blend in, mingling with the people and being part of the place. I like to be involved in education and human values. I admire expressiveness in all its forms; to experience New Orleans is to be in constant contact with all these forms of expression—musical, graphic, and written.
