About Me

I'm one of those people who WILL talk to you on the plane. After spending the last 8 months in the Midwestern United States working at a health software company, my next step the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. While not traveling the couchsurfing community has been a huge help in making me feel at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To add a sense of excitement and adventure to my life regardless of whether I'm traveling or not

Interests

Global health policy (it's weird I know, but I find it really fascinating), global LGBTQ issues, supply chain management, pharmaceutical pricing, and community engagement

  • traveling
  • software

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading Mountains Beyond Mountains basically helped me start my current life and ignite my passion for global health. Mindset by Carol Dweck gave me a necessary perspective change and motivation after graduation. Guns, Germs, and Steel helps answer the question: "why are some countries poor and others ridiculously rich" -- it's really interesting, I'd love to tell you more about the theory (so you won't have to read the whole thing).
