My family moved from Virginia to Massachusetts when I was 7 years old to help start a church. Since then, my love for Jesus and my family has only grown. Currently, I am living in Boston and pursuing a PhD in organic chemistry. When I grow up, I want to be a professor at a primarily undergraduate institution. After that, who knows? Maybe I'll start an orphanage in South America...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most definitely, the best way to travel is to experience the people and the culture of wherever you are traveling, and what better way to do than to stay with the locals? Besides, life is too short to not meet new people.

Interests

I love jamming with my family. I love playing ultimate Frisbee. I love discussing the mathematics behind music. I love singing for the worship band at my church. I love going anywhere a bus or plane ticket will take me.
