Various and Sundry Skills and One Anomaly

Flute/piccolo (professional level), lyric whistling, cockney, Brooklyn/Jersey and southern
accents. I am known for breaking glass by singing “the note” (approx. A-flat, twice), and ten
years of military experience has made me an expert combat piccolo player and an authority
on all things “hooah.” I have also received critical acclaim for my abilities as a waitress.

“Singing server Valeria Lari is one of the high notes at

Gustino’s,”
