About Me

Hey!

I'm an entrepreneur living in Brooklyn, NY. I launched my company in Feb 2015 to build an event planning company dedicated to giving back. We partner with local NYC non-profits and give a percentage of our profits. It's a fun + creative gig and I love the freedom it affords me to travel.

Aside from rocking the Brooklyn female entrepreneur scene, I enjoy good friends, wine, traveling, trying new food, long runs, and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always meeting new people when I'm traveling, and I usually do that through the hostel or airbnb route. I figure it's time to try out couchsurfing since I've had female friends recommend it to me!
