I am a sometimes quiet, sometimes outgoing, curious and open minded individual looking to explore this strange and crazy world. I am a PhD student studying Informatics at Indiana University Bloomington: what does that mean? It means that I study a lot about computers, technology, science, and how it all fits within society. Its pretty awesome!

I am pretty easy going and tend to go with the flow. I am interested in most things, and love a good conversation. I like to think of myself as kind and friendly, but I will let you be the judge of that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent two months living with an amazing community of people in Porto Portugal; each of these people are experiencing being a digital nomad, meaning that they travelled where they wanted, and worked remotely to sustain themselves. I hope to do the same at some point in the future.

It's not that amazing, but I am still a youngling and I am gaining new experiences all the time!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can edit writings for technical, stylistic, or content issues. I can generally offer my feedback on writing, ideas, and media content. I have some technical knowledge, and can offer advice and help setting up websites.
