Update on my life

Hello yall, So I haven't updated in a really long time! I have been involved with lots of projects and have done a lot since last time I updated.
So I graduated from the Bikes Not Bombs Vocational Bike Mechanic course and am now very confident with bike mechanics. Since then I have helped instruct the Bikes Not Bombs Earn a Bike program as well as the Girls IN Action program. They have been amazing experiences for me and I have been learning a lot by working with you and helping facilitate mechanic lessons.
I have been giving some workshops on bike maintence and also bike safety with different groups. I have found a job with Boston Bikes and have been travelling to different schools and teaching bicyle safety and urban riding. It has been a wonderful time and I really enjoy it. This Sunday I will be giving a workshop on safe city bicycling at the Boston Skillshare. There will be lots of great workshops today! and tomorrow!

I have been working with the Boston Bike Collective and it has been growing each week. We have been hosting open shop night every week at various locations in the greater Boston area. For more details on upcoming events you can check out http://bostonbikecollective.blogspot.com/
I have also found a job at the Bicycle Exchange in Cambridge. I have been building brand new bikes and making sure they work correctly.
