CURRENT MISSION

To boldy go

ABOUT ME

After graduating college, I was elected to the Eau Claire City Council and served 3 years until I left in August 2009 to attend Law School.

I believe in trying new experiences, and I plan to use my time in law school to do as much traveling as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I was born to a 19-year-old single mother. I am a strong Progressive who believes deeply in social justice issues. I believe in national health care, equal rights, mass transit, bike trails, and sustainability.

On a person level, I believe sometimes the best way we can help someone is to just be there to listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My roommate and I hosted in 2008-2009, and this summer/fall I look forward to surfing mostly in Europe while attending the University of Copenhagen for a study abroad program.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great time hosting while living in Eau Claire. I got to meet many new people including a vegan activist and a couple backpacking the country. I'm an outgoing person who enjoys meeting new people and learning from others' experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I love sci-fi/fantasy movies like Star Wars, The Matrix and Lord of the Rings.

Music: I'm a big 80's person. Journey, George Michael, Hall and Oats, Phil Collins, exc.

Books: I enjoy reading mostly fantasy novels and book about politics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It might not sound exciting but the my best memories are of when I served on City Council.

I met a guy who wanted to operate a street vendor hot dog cart. I got the law changed to allow hot dog cart and 3 years later, I met him again. He was so thankful to be able to provide for his family.

Sometimes it's the "little things" that matter most.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't believe teaching is one way, but I'd love to have a conversation about politics/philosophy.

I want to learn about other cultures/communities and values.

I'm always willing to share a pot of tea.
