Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, land of lakes and hot dish. I studied physics at the College of Saint Benedict in the cheery little town of St. Joseph, MN. Now I'm a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering at Montana State University in Bozeman beginning my research in composites. I'm always anticipating my next adventure, whether it's traveling to a new state or country or going out for an afternoon hike through the mountains of Montana.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My mom's a flight attendant so I have the wonderful privilege and opportunity to travel fairly frequently. Because of the nature of standby flights, however, I often end up traveling on my own and would love to have more people to hang out with at my many destinations.
