I just graduated college at the University of Pittsburgh where I studied environmental studies and economics. I love living in the city and all that it has to offer from museums, festivals, and good food! I love being outside whenever possible and hope that I will have more time for that post-college! I'm a huge animal lover especially of dogs, but I'm quickly becoming obsessed with cats as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore other areas and learn from people from other countries and areas of my own country as well as share my city with people from other areas!

Interests

I enjoy reading, particularly fiction, but I'm beginning to branch out to the world of nonfiction. I like to play tennis, climb, bike, and hike when possible. I'm a pretty big sports fan and enjoy watching American football, tennis, and basketball. In the past few years, I've gotten really into (vegan) cooking and cooking food from other cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I attended a conference in Colorado regarding work to end world poverty and that completely changed how I view myself, my impact, and nonprofit work as a whole.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm passionate about sustainability and all that encompasses especially when dealing with food systems!

What I Can Share with Hosts
