I'm a research and development chemist for a nanotechnology start up working on next-generation solar energy production as well as a grant-writing volunteer leader for a non-profit (OUR&D) focused on funding renewable energy technology that will fight climate change. I'm a casual climber and skier, and have an emotional attachment to mountains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because several friends of mine opened my eyes to this great platform. I'm really excited to get involved. After moving to a few places completely alone, I realized how much I enjoyed just experiencing new people and places and identities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm pretty quiet and low-key, but happy to participate in conversation, hikes, crafting, or some minor house work. I'm currently employed as a chemist and have worked as a barista, so I can probably make a decent cup of coffee.
