I'm a writer and nonprofit worker based in the SF Bay Area. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in May 2018; I studied international development with a focus on South Asia. I've spent previous summers living in India and China.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and sharing stories.

Interests

I've been writing since I was four years old! I've traveled around the world to deliver presentations advocating for youth empowerment and literacy. I'd love to connect with people who can recommend the best local hikes and ways for me to enjoy nature. I also love running (though I'm not very fast) and have run two half-marathons.
