Americorps alumni, originally from Oregon but lived for a year in Maine after working as a hiking trip leader at a summer camp in Raymond.

Currently I am living in Puerto Rico helping with disaster recovery efforts. I’ve been in PR for six months and may be here for another six months since there is a lot left to do.

I love snorkeling, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, and am taking the Open Water Scuba Diver Certification right now.

I love art, all animals and critters, and the outdoors, and if you like any of those things we will definitely get along!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent ten months volunteering in communities across America through a program called Americorps National Civilian Community Corporation. Got to see a ton of states, help people all across the United States, work with FEMA, and do a lot of character building alongside my team.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cleaning and can help clean up around the house when I'm not out exploring, I can cook like, five things, and I can show you how to do all sorts of arts and crafts. I'm also great with animals and can help care for anything from frogs to horses to dogs. Besides that, just sharing stories, jokes, and a cheerful friendly attitude!
