I work as a User Experience Researcher at a technology consulting firm. Basically I study people who use products and services to inform business decisions to improve those products and services. My background is in developmental psychology, so I have a deep appreciation for each individual's path to their current life situation. Nature is my happy place, I love backpacking, kayaking, climbing, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world! I believe everyone has something to teach, so I enjoy listening to everyone's stories. I also believe that exploring new cultures best thing we can do to grow into better people, so I would much rather share a room with a local than hide away in a hotel room somewhere.

Interests

I love anything & everything out in nature. I love engaging in dialogue about all things psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is for the soul.

I mostly read non-fiction stuff, typically psychology related.
