By day I work as a marketing assistant and by night and I am beginning to build my career as an interdisciplinary artist. I just recently graduated with my BFA in photography from ASU and hope to spend the next couple of years traveling and crossing some of those long awaited bucket list items off. I enjoy my time most when I am camping, exploring a new city, at a concert, or spending a night out with family and/or friends.

I am also really passionate about Phoenix, Arizona, the city in which I grew up and currently reside. Unfortunately due to my current living situation I can not currently accept any guests but I leap at any chance I get to show people how great this growing city can be. I work in the entertainment industry for a couple of bar/music venues in Downtown Phoenix. I also am integrated in the art scene due to being an art student at ASU. The local scene (music, art, food, business in general) here is so unique and so close knit/supportive. I think we have a special thing going here and would love to show anyone around my amazing city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a shared account also with my best friend and we have couch surfed together in the past. I think couch surfing is an incredibly unique community and provides an opportunity I would never normally have to meet new people and see new places. I believe more than anything that people make up places and are oftentimes the most significant part of experiencing a new city. I love hearing people's histories and about what makes them tick because I think it undoubtedly leads to my own expansion and open-mindedness, which ultimately contributes to a more loving and accepting society :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My great willingness to experience, share, and learn. I am a conversationalist and a fantastic listener. I am also a very respectful and unimposing guest. I don't expect to stay with anyone simply for a pillow to rest my head on at night and you can expect an authentic host gift from the great desert state!
