I'm a graduate student at Stanford doing genetics, mountain biking, rock climbing, lifting and guitar. I'd like to believe my life seamlessly blends all of these, but getting to that state requires constant effort. I love traveling and meeting people, and I usually travel for a reason. As an undergrad, I traveled for varsity sports or for volunteering trips, and as a graduate student, I travel for academic conferences or to see old friends.

I'm an easy-going animal-lover who likes cars and life equally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

Our most inclusive identity is human. More than willing to learn anything from any human/animal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to talk about science in general and genetics in particular. I'm passionate about any form of motor racing, the NFL and college lacrosse. We can work out, or sit around and watch South Park.
