I'm an artist with my BFA in Sculpture, class of 2012. I freelance web development, graphic design, copy writing, and work with artists, filmmakers, and nonprofits. I just returned from a trip to Israel and have been accepted to the University of Nevada at Las Vegas for Fall '19! Love meeting new, chill people, hiking, and binge-watching Netflix. I run a visiting artist residency here in Chattanooga out of my home I bought 3 years ago.

I've lived in middle TN for the last 10 years, originally from CA and spent 5 years in Spokane, WA. Moving to Las Vegas soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to travel but I'm a starving artist, so one thing holding me back is the cost of lodging. I'm handy around the house, computer, life, etc. and have a lot of skills and abilities to offer in exchange. I just want to see the world!
