American immigrant from the Philippines (parents are Chinese and Filipino). Raised in a suburb of Las Vegas, Nevada. I have lived in Reno, Nevada; Boston, Massachusetts; Nashville, Tennessee; and Portland, Oregon for school. Resident of Missoula, Montana.

I'm a fan of the wilderness and food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Breathe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk your ear off about science, medicine, business, and economics.

I try to learn one new thing at least everyday. I'd love to learn anything if you're willing to teach. I especially love learning about local cultural practices and customs.

Open to sharing stories, knowledge, food, cleanliness, kindness, and respect.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations, stories, thoughts, a home-prepped meal.
