About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To volunteer my way across the world

ABOUT ME

A graduate of Mount Holyoke College, I graduated with a B.A. in studio art and a minor in biology. At Mt. Holyoke, I pursued my interests in clinical and public health as an EMT and Environmental Health and Safety Fellow. This was coupled with extensive volunteerism as a tutor and community organizing in the areas of science and sustainability.

Since graduation, I have furthered my interest in clinical health through employment at The Washington Hospital Center, and The Clinton Global Initiate.

PHILOSOPHY

-What you put out into the world, is what you will receive

-You attract more bees with honey than with vinegar

-Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth to be young at heart

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything with a really compelling story line. I also love historical pieces and am a sucker for a good romance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was able to meet the Clinton family through my work at the Clinton Global Initiative. Seeing Secretary Clinton rocking the scrunchie was a pretty awesome day for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to think that I am somewhat well versed in healthcare, education policy, art and environment. That being said, I will be the first to admit that I don't know everything and am always eager to learn more. I consider myself a generalist, as I want to absorb as much information about as many things possible.

I am not good at spelling. Never ask me to proof something.
